Mojo's hour is up and he was allowed to post two names so I will do that now.

 

29. Truman Capote

 

30. Carl Weathers

 

You are absolutely correct, as stated in Rule #6:

 

6) After a submission is solved, if the solver fails to make a submission within 1 hour, then the first person to point this out becomes a winner. The solver retains winner status and may make a sequential submission at any time.

 

By completing the Excelsior!, MojoComics had the ability to make 2 submissions, but did not do so within the 1 hour time frame.

:golfclap: Four Rooms is a very funny movie. I don't normally think of Tim Roth as a comedian, but he had me rolling on the floor laughing in that one.

:rulez:

 

Just some points of clarification.

 

Under Rule #7, you can become a winner by reducing degrees, and then make a submission. This is true for all existing submissions. So you were absolutely correct in trying to reduce an SL4 to an SL3.

 

7) If you can reduce the degrees of a previous winner, you become a winner

 

However, there is no direct connection between the "actual" Truman Capote and Philip Seymour Hoffman that I can see. So, unfortunately, the SL3 is not valid.

 

Which brings up another point.

The game is designed to be self-policing, so if no one objects to a solution, then it stands. And if we ever get to the point where there's a disagreement that can't be solved, then majority rules under a poll submitted by the objector.

34. mr. Ed the original from tv
I have a feeling the solution (or a solution) has to do with voices- connecting the Mr. Ed tv show to voices in a Marvel cartoon being one of the links. Is it cheating to use IMDb?

Also...

Kim Jong Il met Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton met Stan Lee (see page 232 of Stan's autobiography "Excelsior!" for proof)

 

Next up... LEE MARVIN

 

Im gonna call veto on this one.. "met" is a little to weak of a degree for me, espcially twice in one thread.

 

Here's my more legit 2 (IMHO)

 

7. Kim Jong Ill

 

Kim Jong Ill appears in The Dictator (via news footage) with Aasif Mandvi

Aasif Mandvi is in Spider-man 2 with Stan Lee
