said by ekster:It's a fail either way. What if tmo is the assassin and Kris is the king, and we start from A to Z? What do we do when it hits K and the assassin is still alive? Never mind the fact that the choices for the assassin will also be tiny. And switch names to make it tmo as king and Kris as the assassin for the reversed order, again... it's a 50% chance of a guaranteed loss.
this was the give away...
