I’m all in favor of changing the formula to 100-age for future contests to encourage picking younger celebrities.

Picking a bunch of olds is a valid strategy and shouldn’t be discouraged if a person wants to go that way. In a large pool, it’s not a winning strategy. Probably has you finishing in the middle of the pack most of the time since you wouldn’t be the only participant picking that person. In this inaugural event, it might work.

Hopefully as this forum grows, participation will as well.

Punctually, I will add your list to the spreadsheet tomorrow and get your score.

No one got James Lipton

But chuckleslovakian and myself hit on Kirk Douglas. I’ll have to update this some time.

Death Pool updates

Sam Lloyd - Wikipedia - True North gets 69 points!

Otherwise, we’ve been pretty awful at this. Combined, we got 6 names. A good number of selected centenerians just keep on trucking.
