h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I see I have managed to get 10 unique picks, shall have to see how that goes.

I have eight, four of them are panic picks yesterday because I am never organised, so if that pays off I won't be able claim that there was any strategy to it

I also have 10 unique picks, I had expected another with one of my new picks, but he's on someone else's list too.

Of my 15, 5 people are over 90 - 3 of them unique picks. 2 are over 100, both are unique picks and have been on my list for several years!

I figured that age is not the way to go, except perhaps for the world's oldest man/woman. To be competitive in this game, you need to score somewhere around 50-60 points, so you're looking at about a 33% conversion rate. 90-year olds are probably a lot more likely than that to survive, and overall mortality rates have halved since 1980.

Astonishingly I have 15 unique picks. I did send my list to Beatrice before I opened Icy's list, which was the first one I received for the 2014 Game, so I couldn't tweak my list at all!

The rules tell you everything except how you actually submit your list.

Oh dear. I've amended that now. I assumed everyone was reading the Deathlist 2013 thread at Ask.

Thanks! *rushes off to mail her list*

Could you reply to my request? I can't process your list until you do
