“We have all the time in the world” Maybe not, when you marry Lady Olenna.
So George will be 96 at the end of next year? Are you numbers all correct? I have him as 85 next year, which would 5 points.
I was trying to do the math in my head while the dogs were pestering me. I can double-check my numbers. Are we subtracting from 100? That’s how I got 16 for Lazenby.

Better change out Norman Lear, he’s already gone.
In view of this, a good idea indeed, thank you! So I’ll take instead
Yang Chen-Ning, also known as C. N. Yang or by the English name Frank Yang, Nobel laureate for his contribution to the field of physics 1957.
Yang Chen-Ning - 22
I fear it will be a lot of work for every one of us to check who is still alive at the end of the year.
80 = 0 points
85 = 5 points
Calculate their points if they survive 2024.
Gotcha! I’ll fix my numbers.

I think I like my old scores better. This way only gets me 61 points.
Here is the current spreadsheet if anyone would like to check it or just see it.
That is so cool, thank you! And I see that some have used similar search ideas, I know because the results are similar but I did not copy.
Well, it is my first time, so next year will be more refined and thought through. I still think that the Death Pool is more straight forward and natural, but I am willing to give this idea a try. Games are fun and you are on watching. No escape! I will follow you.
29 hours left to be a part of the inaugural Life Pool!
OK, since this was my idea. Going with various sporting figures since usually people don’t put athletes on these lists I’ve noticed:
Willie Mays 13

A. J. Foyt 9
Richard Petty 7
Jackie Stewart 5
Gary Player 9
Jack Burke Jr. 21
Bobby Shantz 19
Roy Face 16
Glenn Hall 15
Bob Pettit 13
Whitey Herzog 13
Bob Uecker 10
165
Alt: Roy Emerson 8
155, actually.
Question: If one survives the year, wouldn’t their age be plus one when based on age as of 12/31/2023?
I listed my 13 below based on points received on January 1st, 2025:
Eva Marie Saint – 20
Dick Van Dyke – 19
