Jean-Pierre Jabouille is the first hit? https://www.gpfans.com/fr/f1-actualites/100585/jean-pierre-jabouille-renault-f1/

Congrats Crem! This competition does have a lot of dramatic potential.... I assume, with the bonusses factored in, there was tons of drama going on, chronologically. A little randomness is still there, my score still sucks... but I guess Perhaps would have a better right to complain, and Crem got a high enough number of hits. After all, the DDP doesn't factor in the sheer number of hits either.

Esther Rantzen was only a sub for that broadcasting team. But I forgot who died to make room for her, maybe it was even a case of one of the original 20 names being picked twice.

Sounds like a very slow and unaggressive cancer that was allowed to spread and become terminal out of sheer negligence. At that speed, death could still be months away. The jaw problems could affect his eating though.
