Snapchat IPO

Q154: Before the end of 2016, will Snapchat hold an IPO?
Yes: 20%
(In order to resolve this question, the IPO actually needs to be held.  An announcement that Snapchat plans to hold an IPO before the end of 2016 is not sufficient)

Snapchat, a video messaging service, has announced it plans to hold an IPO (see story here).  However, it has not given a clear date.  My sense is that the IPO will be held in 2-5 years, which would put it beyond the time limit of the question (and there may not be an IPO if Snapchat does poorly or for various other reasons).
