Half-baked idea free to good home: Calibration trivia for charity.
The event has an array of charities available to pick. Each person or team puts up a stake. They answer trivia questions with answers and how sure they are that they’re right. At the end of the game, they get back some amount of money based on their brier score, with more calibrated teams getting back more of their stake. Whatever team has the most correct answers gets to pick where all the money that wasn’t returned goes. Ties on correct answers get broken by calibration. Winning team maybe gets a free hat or something.
I don’t know if this has any memetic fitness compared to existing charity drives.
