To use the Sorting Algorithm of Mortality, simply add the '''Scream Score''' for each applicable row, then divide by the number of applicable rows (at this point, [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13]] or fewer). Remember: this is a relative score, so you need at least 3 characters from the same movie or series to establish a baseline. To keep this page clean, please put speculation on the mortality of a cast in the WildMassGuessing WMG/SortingAlgorithmOfMortality page.
