Jimmy Carter closing in on age 100

[radioacti...@gmail.com]

Sure wish folks would stop surmising that the ever-smiling POTUS is in the final stage of an endgame. Who's to say he won't make 105, or even beyond?

For my own absolutely-inconsequential part, if I'm still around on Tuesday, October 1, 2024--big if THERE, for sure--I intend to celebrate his centenary. (And I voted against him both in 1976 and 1980.)

Live on, Mr. Carter!

The actuarial tables may prevent this and most likely will prevent this. Actuarial tables are most unkind to centenarians. The chance of a centenarian living another year is 1 in 2 or 50%. That is why there are hundreds of thousands of centenarians in the world but only a few hundred super centenarians (over 110). Not surprising since 2^10 is 1,024. As for super centenarians over 120 there has been only one, being Madam Calment who died at age 122. There is only one chance in a million that a centenarian will live to 120 (2^20 = 1 million).

While this is certainly true at 110,
at 100 the odds are somewhat higher.

At 110,the odds of surviving 3 years are about 10%,
while at 100 they are more like twice that.
