Open questions
What this paper does not yet know
Every day this desk publishes things that are not settled — a deal reported but unsigned, a ruling under appeal. Most papers print the hedge once and move on, which makes an honest "unconfirmed" impossible to tell apart from a quiet mistake. So each one is recorded here until it is answered, and the answer is published even when it means the paper was wrong. 45 still open, 1 answered.
