I may have misunderstood your notation, but I think you just mistyped Mahalot’s score: 26 points with 2 picks, 3 of which are unique is a contradiction.
And still two days to go, I don’t think the Final Hours Award is settled. We can do better 
As I’ve said before, I’m glad to have all you folks to check up on me

Sheesh, I’m depending on it at this point. 
You may be the latest Final Hours winner, but I’m not sure. I won it once on 12/27; you are a day later.
You mean me?
I’m so confused. Maybe someone else witll drop. Yes you, I let my fingers type before I remember to check. And Wildmon was one I wasn’t sorry to see go.
Agreed.
I keep telling myself, “People die every day! Just hang in there!”
Me too! And don’t people remember how last year ended with a flurry of point-earning deaths on the last 3 days? Pele Dec 29, Barbara Walters Dec 30, Jeremiah Green and Pope Benedict on Dec 31.
I’m still rooting for a small space rock expertly timed and placed.
In these here final hours of 2023, I’d like to wish the best of health to:
Andy Taylor
John Williams
Gene Hackman
Celine Dion
Hunter Biden
Robert Redford
Simon Cowell
Val Kilmer
Shannen Doherty
James Earl Jones
Bill Clinton
See you all next year with maybe a few substitutions here and there!
That’s a shame. I hadn’t heard or thought about Gil in a long time, but he was a great driver in CART and IndyCar. Always a great sportsman, which is one of my top criteria for choosing what drivers I’ll consider myself a fan of.
Former WWF wrestler Killer Khan has died at 76.
https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nhra/a46254226/nhra-team-owner-tuner-roland-leong-dies/
Legendary NHRA Funny Car and Top Fuel team owner and engine tuner Roland Leong—known throughout the sport for more than three decades as both “The Hawaiian” and “The Flyin’ Hawaiian”—died Friday at the age of 79.
Leong had reportedly been in declining health in recent months. He passed away just hours before reports of the death of retired IndyCar driver and 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran.
Leong’s colorful nicknames were tributes to his birthplace in the Hawaiian Islands. The native of Honolulu also had sponsorship from both Hawaiian Punch and King’s Hawaiian Bread, two additional tributes to his native land.
Another possible contestant for the “Final Hours” award - Maurice Hines, 20 points.
Unless I’ve made an error Hines was not picked by anyone so he wouldn’t be a Final Hours contestant.
Geez, I just about forgot about him. That machine really works.
