1,749 players, 83 perfect rounds, and a wager split that went nearly down the middle: 46% at 1x, 50% at 3x, with 2x barely registering at 4%. Players who went bold did well in aggregate — 3x accuracy landed at 78% versus 69% on 1x — but that average flatters the week. 
Angela Davis was waiting at the bottom of the board, and she took no prisoners.

What stood out
Three celebrities landed within a coin flip of 50/50. 
Lee Harvey Oswald split the field exactly 50–50 on 209 guesses — he's deceased, so half the room got a point and half didn't. 
Diego Rivera matched that exactly on 256 guesses, also deceased. 
Terry Jones held at 50–50 on 210 guesses; he's deceased too. Three dead-even splits, all wrong-direction ties. That's unusual.

George Soros was the quiet wrong-direction miss in the middle: 75% of players called him deceased on 256 guesses. He's alive. 25% accuracy. 
Shane MacGowan went the other way — 66% called him alive, 34% accuracy. He's deceased. The board had a scattered quality this week: no single category ran consistently hot or cold, just a wide band of misses spread across musicians, athletes, and everyone else.
Bonus exact-year hits came in at 444. Top score: 3,385.
Featured: Angela Davis
She was once on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, but after her acquittal she went on to become a distinguished university professor and one of the most influential scholars in the field of critical prison studies.
79% of players called Angela Davis deceased. She's alive. That's 21% accuracy on 246 guesses — worst on the board by a wide margin, and the week's biggest upset. In a week where half of all wagers went 3x, players who bet bold on this one absorbed the full damage. The bold-and-right rate for the week overall was 53%, which sounds reasonable until you factor in a miss this lopsided on a name that drew a solid sample.

- George Soros at 25% — 75% of players called the business figure deceased. He's alive. Second-hardest miss of the week and a clean wrong-direction error on a name most players seemed certain about.
Stephen Sondheim at 38% — 62% of players called the 1950s–2020s composer alive. He's deceased. Held up better than the top two, but still wrong-direction on a majority.- Novak Djokovic at 99% — the week's unchallenged gimme on the largest sample available. Whatever else went sideways this week, players knew exactly where they stood on him.
