paddyfool 369 Posted October 30, 2020 On 19/09/2020 at 16:41, paddyfool said: Update to Bucket Kicker's stats: with 104 more days this year, and being 4 deaths short of a record 18, the required rate for a new record would now be a pretty average one death every 26 days. (The rate so far this year having been one death every 19 days). Imho, once you factor in winter mortality and the COVID effect, the odds on a new record have shifted to better than even. Update to this with our 15th death: 62 days left in the year, average of one death every 20.7 days needed to get a new record. Seems unlikely, but winter ❄️ mortality plus second wave of COVID means probably not that unlikely. Oh, and the "total years on Death List of those that have died in the year" record is now thoroughly broken with a full two winter months to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 214 Posted December 26, 2020 On 27/07/2020 at 13:11, Dying Probably said: Of course there's already a topic for it. *sigh* Statistics I've found that people, knowing my luck, already know: The closest we've come to a full knock-out of the top 5 is in 2013, 2016 and 2020, with 4/5 deaths. The largest "red rows" (consecutive listings all dying) were in 2017, with the deaths of the bottom 4, Joost van der Westhuisen, Mary Tyler Moore, Errol Christie and Ian Brady, as well as 2-5 dying this year. Time for a bit of an expansion to this, albeit late. A new "red row" record is once again from this year, 24-27 (Stiles, Mubarak, P-Orridge, Moss) The longest time between two deaths is from 1990-1992, with 676 days between Jill Ireland and Jim Joel. The longest time between two deaths in one year is 2011, with 153 days between Betty Ford and Harry Morgan. Obviously, the last one could be wrong as we lost the 1988 deathlist.

Joey Russ 5,285 Posted January 15 On 06/01/2020 at 17:56, Joey Russ said: So, I was a bit bored, and was trying to think of ideas. Then something popped into my head. Why not make a list of names that were picked by the winning team of each year. Doesn’t matter if they died that year, lived, didn’t get a QO, or (in one case) die before ddp action but wasn’t known until afterwards. As long as they appear on the winning team as mentioned on the ddp site (so no Mark Crispin, for example), they’re fine. So the list goes as follows... 1. John Andretti 2. Frankie Banali Kidding. You mean, I can’t have a little bit of fun every now and then?
