1 | 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. The original article is [[SortingAlgorithmOfMortality here]]. For characters who have already snuffed it, see SortingAlgorithmOfDeadness. |
