Students at the Technical University of Munich created a project, titled A Son of Ice and Data, to establish the likelihood of death of Game of Thrones characters. Among the findings: Tommen Baratheon has a 97% likelihood of death, Daenerys Targaryen has a 95% likelihood of death and Jon Snow has just an 11% likelihood of dying on the show. PLUS: The Freedom Of Information Act request on President Obama’s advanced screeners (http://www.refinery29.com/2016/04/108430/obama-game-of-thrones-foia-request) is being evaluated, Game of Thrones creators “spent good money” to make sure Jon Snow looked dead (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/game-of-thrones-season-6-jon-snow-dead-video-1201756673/), inside the time-consuming White Walker-making process (http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/white-walkers-of-game-of-thrones-are-insane.html), and “Ramsay" and “Reek” shared a kiss (https://www.instagram.com/p/BEaRTgYy_HH/) during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel with “Roose Bolton."
