"How much would a generically smart liberal arts graduate know about this subject within 2 weeks of hearing it existed?" successfully predicts about 98% of articles.

(One can trivially cite the 2%, but they're not labeled "This is the one today which isn't mostly winging it.")
What percentage of articles written about, say, HFT were written by someone who could succeed at this challenge: "Draw me an order book. Any order book."
Related questions that would just be mean: “How many order books are there for Google shares? Within an order of magnitude is fine.”, “A retail investor does a market sell for five shares. Which order book is impacted and how?” “Same question, institutional investor, limit, 100k”
