No deadline.Piet de Jong died before the game started.Will replace him with Zhou Youguang.

Are you sure, he's got no baby boomers and literally cannot win the game.

 

No deadline.Piet de Jong died before the game started.Will replace him with Zhou Youguang.

 

In that case whats to stop me waiting for an imminent disaster involving 60 celebrities of various ages and entering them all? I suppose realistically the later you enter the less likely you are to "win" not that any of us will ever win this ridiculous game.

[Sean 6,309]

C heers cor pointing that out.Morbidkid pick 20 baby boomers.You are at a disadvantage if you enter late when hits start coming.I think we should get a winner in 7 or so years.
