How to Read Your Life Results in 1 in 8 Billion
This page explains one part of the game. It is an independent copy, not the official site. The life itself starts on this language’s homepage.
What the ending shows first
When the character dies, the page can show the name, the country of birth, the age, and the cause. It is the record of that simulated life. It is not a forecast for you.

Compared with life expectancy
The age at death is what happened in this run. Life expectancy is a figure from the life table for that place and sex. Living longer or shorter than it does not make the table wrong, and it does not predict the next draw.
The life map
Life map uses 1 square = 1 year. The squares are the years of this life. They are a trace, not a ranking.
The survival curve
Survival curve is the share of people born the same year, in that model, who are still alive at each age. It is not a promise that this character reaches a point on the line.
Family, work, and moments
Job, schooling, family, children, countries lived, and a high point of happiness can appear when that life had them. An empty section means this life did not have that part. It is not a missing page.
Money and the decision count
A financial summary can appear. The ending can also show how many decisions were made, and how many of those were automatic. Income in detail is not this page’s subject.
Another life, or an old record
Be born again starts a new draw on the homepage. See again under Past lives reopens a finished life only when a snapshot is still there. The past lives page explains which records open.
Questions about the ending
Saving and reopening are on the past lives page.
Does every life show the same panels?
No. Family, work, and money appear when that life had them.
Is the cause a real diagnosis?
No. It is the simulation’s cause for this character, not a medical finding about a person.
Will the next life in the same country match?
No. Family, events, choices, and chance still differ.
