Spoiler alert: If you are yet to watch the Season 5 finale of "Game of Thrones" and have also managed to avoid a year of headlines about the fate of one particular character, read on at your own peril.

For the rest of us, we've been subject to months of speculation that Jon Snow may not be completely dead, despite being run through with cold, hard steel by most of the Night's Watch when we saw him last. Now, a machine leaing algorithm designed by a team at the Technical University of Munich has analyzed data on all the characters in Westeros, both dead and alive, and concluded that it is very likely that Snow is actually a survivor.

The project, dubbed "A Song of Ice and Data", basically scrapes info from the online Wiki of Ice and Fire encyclopedia, which focuses largely on the series of books by George R.R. Martin, but also covers the HBO show they inspired. Using this data source, two dozen features of each character are statistically compared to try and figure out which features make a character most likely to die.

In other words, if a character who has yet to die in the storyline shares a lot of these features with a character who has already died, the algorithm assigns the still-living character a high probability of eventually biting it.

And by its calculations, the algorithm finds that Jon Snow's character only has an 11 percent chance of dying. That's quite low, especially when compared to the poor boy-King, Tommen Baratheon, who has a 97 percent chance of dying. I'll never understand why everyone wants that creepy Iron Throne so much.
