def law(input_data: list[dict[str, float]], group: str) -> list[dict[str, float]]:
    """
    Predicts output variables based on input variables according to a discovered scaling law.

    The scaling law is a quadratic function: y = a*x² + b*x + c
    where x is log_flops and y is brier_score.

    Different groups have different coefficients but the same functional form.

    Args:
        input_data: A list of dictionaries, where each dictionary is a single data
                    point containing input variable names as keys and their
                    corresponding values.
        group: The name of the experimental group for which to make predictions.
                The functional form of the law must be the same for all groups,
                but the constant parameters/coefficients can differ per group.

    Returns:
        A list of dictionaries, corresponding to the input_data list, with each
        dictionary containing the predicted output variable(s).
