Alexi Laiho, a singer of Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, has passed away. He would give me 40 points (he also died as 41-year old, so I'm not sure if some of the previous hits has been even younger), but I have no idea if he's getting a QO. I think he might since Children of Bodom has been doing well also outside of Finland, but then again he also might not. Everything I've been able to find so far is in Finnish.

My first sub Alexi Laiho, a vocalist of Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, has died. No points for me though since he's only one of my subs and I'm not sure if he even gets QO (I didn't find anything about this in English yet, but it's all over the Finnish newspapers).

My guesses are 1. Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh 2. Bob Dole 3. George Schultz 4. Rush Limbaugh (joker) 5. Bob Barker 6. Jimmy Carter 7. Leslie Phillips 8. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 9. Harry Belafonte 10. Barbara Walters 11. Pope Benedict XVI 12. Yoko Ono 13. Linda Nolan 14. Joanne Woodward 15. Leon Spinks 16. Frank Williams 17. Vanessa Redgrave Thanks for hosting! EDIT. I forgot a joker, so I chose one.

The first time I checked mine and I still found some errors: I'm getting +4 for Bob Dole although my list and DL has him in the same position (4th), shouldn't it be +10 then? Dick van Dyke is also giving me +4 although there's only 2 positions difference between my list and DL (in mine 5th and in DL 3rd), so it's +5, right? Same with Emperor Akihito (6th in mine and 5th in DL), so it should be +5 instead of +4. And with Murray Walker (7th in mine and 9th in DL, so I think it's +5 instead of +4. There is also a mistake with Shannen Doherty since she's in 48th in mine and 49th in DL, so I should be given +5 +3 instead of +10 +3. My score should be 96 with these corrections. Sorry, @Book.

I would like to try my luck again.

Congrats for Vaagheid! I have to say I'm pretty proud of my score since this was the first time I participated and I was expecting to do much worse.

Thank you Yvonne!

I needed to edit my list since I understood the rules incorrectly at first. I know I posted my edited list some minutes before Yvonne (I refreshed the page and there were no new comments), but there's probably no way to confirm that now since I just edited my old comment and didn't write a new one. I didn't realize I should have, so it was my mistake. Due to my mistake, it might be fair I would be the one editing my list again, but I don't really have energy for that now, so if that's the case, I think I will just drop out of the first round

1921 P. K. Warrier, Patricia Marmont 1922 Norman Lear, Betty White 1923 Henry Kissinger, Glynis Johns 1924 Jimmy Carter, Cicely Tyson 1925 Dick van Dyke, Angela Lansbury 1926 David Attenborough, Cloris Leachman 1927 Pope Benedict XVI, Margaret Keane 1928 Noam Chomsky, Tempest Storm 1929 Bob Newhart, Barbara Walters 1930 Buzz Aldrin, Luce Irigaray

I went with Rush Limbaugh since you couldn't pick Tom Smith or Carlos Menem.
