How did the annual count of magnitude 6+ earthquakes at least 300 km deep change from 1975 to 1989?
This is a real historical chart. Extraplot shows you the beginning and asks you to draw what happens next, then reveals the actual line. Below is the full series with the reveal point marked.
Solid line = visible part you would draw from · dashed violet = the actual revealed data after the cutoff.
The reveal
