Predictor 1,018 Posted June 13, 2015 (Johan Herbert) Magnus Härenstam, Swedish TV host, 73. http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=478&artikel=6189538 (Swedish link). Predictor gets a DDP points boost if there's a UK obit, along with an unlucky 13 bonus and unique hit. Oh, I forgot I had him as my "token Swede" along with the old commie (C.H. Hermansson). While 12 points would be really awesome, I will have to go with "What is an obituary in Britain?" as the question to the Jeopardy answer "Something that Magnus Härenstam will never get".
