I made a game where you guess if a license plate application got approved or rejected by the DMV. Some of the results are quite surprising, so after each vote you get to see how other people voted too.

The dataset is license plate applications in the state of California that were flagged for further review. New York also provides this data, but omits the applicant's explanation and the reviewer's comments which is half the fun.

Thinking about adding stats, like a leaderboard of "most misjudged plates" or "most controversial" plates. Try it out and let me know what you think.
