Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 23:52 (six years ago) link

I’m also worried that I may have assumed some dark power because I had both UKLG and MES on my list

Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 25 January 2018 00:21 (six years ago) link

We will need to figure this one out.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 06:48 (five years ago) link

68 points here.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 1 January 2019 06:55 (five years ago) link

Johnny Fever got the highest single score with xxxtentacion but dunno if that’s enough to win

Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 11:23 (five years ago) link

I got 73 -- Hawking 24, McCain 19, Tessa Jowell 30.

adam the (abanana), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 13:36 (five years ago) link

Here's my cursory tally. I think Mark G. won with MES and Verne Troyer.

RIP and thanks for all the points:

XXXTentacion - 80
Liam Miller - 64
Verne Troyer - 51
Mark E Smith - 40
Tessa Jowell - 30
Stephen Hawking - 24
Aretha Franklin - 24
John McCain - 19
Ursula K LeGuin - 12
Steve Ditko - 10
George H. W. Bush - 6
Billy Graham - 1

mark g. - 40, 51 = 91
maura - 40, 24, 1, 6, 19 = 90
Johnny Fever - 80, 6 = 86
abanana - 30, 24, 19 = 73
Elvis Telecom - 40, 10, 6, 12 = 68
johnny crunch - 51
ailsa - 40
it me - 40
wins - 0
Grandpont Genie - 0

adam the (abanana), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 14:17 (five years ago) link

Oops I forgot ailsa's Liam Miller - that's 40+64 = 106 points.

adam the (abanana), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 14:19 (five years ago) link

Blimey! Usually, my list is a guarantee of a long and happy life to all.

Still, must have been a good year if I can win with only two successful guesses.

Mark G, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 08:35 (five years ago) link

Um, I take it back: well done ailsa
