A few years ago, a (DARPA?) research project on prediction markets 
recruited hundreds of political scientists to participate. Amongst their 
materials were some excellent essays on how even expert social 
scientists misinterpret basic probabilities. These were great essays for 
teaching, but I've searching for weeks and cannot find them. Can anyone 
provide the citation info on those pieces?

Apologies for the mass posting, but I'm at my wits end...and I think 
these readings might be useful to any of us teaching intro stats or methods.
