A scatterplot flickers into view and starts fading, estimate its correlation, set how wide a band you'll wager, and call it before it's gone.

How to play
Each round you see a scatter of points and must judge its correlation (r) from roughly -1 to +1. Slide your guess to the center of a band, choose how tight that band is, stake some coins, and CALL before the plot fades. If the true r lands inside your band you win; tighter bands and closer centers pay more.
Eight plots per game, starting from a coin purse you grow or burn.
Tighter bands multiply the payout but are easier to miss.
Some plots are traps where outliers fake a trend the bulk of points don't show.

Tips & strategy
Mentally ignore one or two extreme points to judge the real cloud's tilt.
Bet wide when the cloud is fuzzy and tight only when the line is obvious.
