Early Spoiler results are usually updated around 12 p.m. Central.
I read too quickly and missed the 100 year life span, and didn’t get it. I’ll say 2/3.
I missed the peace part of the prize when I read it, JP. I only got it because I make those born and died lists and I’m always amazed by people who make it to 100!
I guessed it correctly, which means it ain’t that difficult… 2/3 right answers.
I’m curious as to how Ken will read this clue. Will the contestants realize the deceased was 100 years old and will that help them remember who it was?
I’ll say ONE right.
