Okay, so are we going to do anything whatsoever, or will we just sit here forever until random quantum fluctuations mess up the game state?
Let's see, the odds are 1 error per month per 256 megabytes, and each person has 32 bits in their live status, and eight would need to be flipped to change a person from LIVE to DEAD. That means we'd expect for each person one of these bits to be flipped every... 5.3 million years, So since there are 19 people, including those who are dead, then we would expect one person to change states every...
2.95 trillion years.
So who wants to wait around for that long?
