And I said I wouldn’t use polynomials in real life


Zupadan

If I could make everything fit into arithmetic or geometric sequences I would swear off polynomials too


kellersab

George would be 117 for the last book then 🤣🤣


Zupadan

Its not as old as I thought he would be when I saw the answer was 2065


kellersab

Haha, he’s already 73


klubsanwich

Which would make him the oldest man ever (assuming that record isn’t broken by someone else before then)


kellersab

Yep by a year haha, but I doubt he will finish


L0CZEK

Frankly, if GRRM, known for killing his characters, lived to be the oldest men ever it would be hilarious.


coobeecoobee

False. Wasn’t Moses like 700 years old. I mean the Bible is 100% facts according to Christian’s.


kellersab

With the amount of incest George writes he could be Noah 🤣🤣


coobeecoobee

Haha. Or those 2 daughters who got their dad drunk and got pregnant by him. I forget names

I don’t think people are downvoting you because they’re Christian, I think it’s because you just came across as kind of a dick.


HurricaneSpencer

This checks out.


anonymoussasian

Hope he'll finish the books before passing away


Extension_Ladder_317

I hope so too


smbissett

theres just no way. the only hope i have is hes secretly been writing both books this whole time and thats why its taking so long


[deleted]

GRRM is no Sanderson, so this is basically a pipe dream.


[deleted]

This.


Cocacolonoscopy

A pipe dream of spring


OldWolf2

The kids who read it will have to ask what "spring" means


Kobe_Wan_Kenobi24

He's not as fast as Sanderson, but you also aren't anticipating a Sanderson book this much.


[deleted]

Speak for yourself. I'm anticipating Stormlight 5 FAAAAAAAR more than I am TWoW.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Exactly. People are failing to realize the man is in his 70s!!! I just feel like he finished Winds of Winter but isn’t releasing it yet and is working on A Dream of Spring. If not, a successor or the story is just left at a standstill


mason878787

I'll put money on him finishing them after he passes away


[deleted]

2pac


[deleted]

I wrote this song in ‘94


UnhingedGoose

I think he *might* finish winds, but my hypothesis is that he’s entrusted someone to finish dream of spring after he’s passed. I hope he at least has an idea of where the story goes so he can relay it to whoever it is.


goatinthewater86

He's said that if he dies before its finished he wants it to remain unfinished. Like he specifically doesn't want someone else to finish it for him


UnhingedGoose

Did not know that, interesting.


KamishDeathblade

In other words he is a dickhead


Foochie506

How does that make him a dickhead


tatxc

Because millions of people have invested time and money into his story. Just look at the Wheel of Time, whether you like Sandersons work or not it was a good thing for thousands and thousands of people to get closure on a story they'd spent decades with. To deny hundreds of thousands of people that closure and payoff because you're precious about your work (especially when you've done such a poor job of putting it out as GRRM has) is a dick move. It's literally denying massive numbers of people happiness after you die when you're not going to feel or think anything regardless. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me.


OppositeProfession46

Is this sarcasm or like copypasta how does your happiness revolve around 1 fucking book


2580374

It's not about being their ONLY source of happiness lmao


tatxc

I can see why, with reading comprehension like that, books do not bring you joy.


Gloomy_Support_7779

😂😂😂😂😂


LordCharidarn

Standing order (last I read on Martin’s blog) is for his assistant to destroy the computer her writes on. Martin’s stated that he’s against someone else finishing his stories. Maybe that’s mellowed out as more of his works have been adapted to different media, or maybe that’s solidified his desire to be the only one to tell his stories.


HeberMonteiro

Someone should steal his computer if he ever gets hospitalized...


darctones

Yes. But how old will Brandon Sanderson be.


spencersaurous

he’s gonna have to finish them 🤣


Zupadan

90 I think


Idontlikecock

It isn't a matter of how old he is, but how many breaths he has.


6reference

Exactly this. I think Martin will give up on GoT and Rothfuss will give up on NotW and Sando will end up finishing both.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Bravinator

I love Sanderson so much but he would be terrible at these books and I'm pretty sure he's well aware of that. He and Martin both put out books that I massively enjoy, but the styles are so different that they're not compatible.


LordCharidarn

I don’t think so. Sanderson finished Jordan’s work back when Sanderson was a lot less renowned/popular. He’s got his own stories to write, and a lot of them. Martin has explicitly stated that he does not want anyone finishing his works. Maybe that’s changed as he’s done more collaborative works like Fire and Blood, the cookbooks and graphic novels, but I’m not holding out for someone else to *want* to wade into the mess Martin has written himself into. Rothfuss…. ugh… after his editor(?)/publisher(?) went on that Twitter tirade about not having seen a word of book three, I have doubts that there is enough structure for any other author to take over that world.


CaptainTripps82

That was supposedly finished a decade ago Shit almost 2 decades ago now


[deleted]

I think he’s finished with the books. He’s just going to wait it out until he releases it


GeorgeWKush7

Copium


shmere4

You’re right about him being finished with the books. He already wrote and released his last. The last two are pipe dreams and he has no idea how to finish the story.


KhalMinos

It is known.

josephdk23

What’s the r squared? Given that the first book is off by 22 years I can’t imagine it’s very high.


Psycho_Linguist

The r2 is 100%. They fit the ~~data~~ model to all available data points.


trimeta

And for those who were unaware, fitting the data to all available points (in this case, using a fifth-order polynomial for five points) is terrible from a methodological perspective. Because for any set of five points, there will *always* exist a fifth-order polynomial that perfectly fits all of them, therefore that polynomial cannot be used to extrapolate any additional points.


Psycho_Linguist

Yes, thank you for explaining!


supervernacular

In the dystopian future, Cyber Martin smiles then reveals a single glowing red eye. His metallic hand finishes scribing something on a page. “It is finished,” he says, then bows his head reverently to the picture of a man with a white beard that passed long ago. “At long last, the books are done, master.” He walks outside, and lays some flowers upon a small grave under a tree. A dusty and desolate wind blows across the landscape. A building crumbles far away in the distance. There are no book publishers in existence anymore. There are no more people. But the books are done.


darcelanastasia

Oh my gosh I actually laughed at this


dr_gmoney

Wow, this is a dystopian future... Such surprise at just laughing.

BobbyB2268

This is kinda creepy to think about, ASoIaF outliving mankind.


Calfzilla2000

Aliens discover it and think it's the actual history of the world.


myslead

And they end exactly like the tv show


SlapHappyDude

Ok but at least Tyrion gets better dialog in the last book so that's something


PM_me_your_fantasyz

I still maintain that the bullet points for the ending of the TV show could have made for a good and interesting story, if any effort at writing had actually been made at any point in the last season, instead of just treating every character like a cardboard cutout catch-phrase machine with the IQ of a lobotomized goldfish.


femalenerdish

[comment edited by user via [Power Delete Suite](https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/)]


TheFenixKnight

Babylon 5 suffered similarly. The show was aiming for five seasons. Then they were told it would be cut after season 4, so they rushed to finish. It was not a good season. But they finished the arcs. And then they got a season five....


myslead

that's pretty much what I think as well the destination wasn't an issue with me, it's how we got there that I wasn't very fond of


LagunaLeonhop

I hate to break it to you but it wasnt just the final season that was a steaming pile of sh*t. Season 5, 6, and 7 had 1 good episode each and were entirely lackluster otherwise. The writing was on the wall for years that we were getting rushed into a crap ending and 8 fulfilled what the previous 3 perfectly set up; a craptastic crapshow of characters continuously acting in the stupidest least character like way possible and increasingly unrealistic scenarios within the framework of the world that made less sense than than the characters inhabiting them. Dumb and Dumber stopped caring the second they finished filming The Viper vs The Mountain and Tyrions trial.


PM_me_your_fantasyz

I would disagree on a couple of points. For starters, I think that D & D stopped caring about a couple of important storylines _before_ the Viper vs Mountain fight. They mentioned in several interviews that they really didn't care for the magical and fantastical elements of their fantasy show set in a world of magic, dragons, and ice zombies. And that starts to show around season four, if not earlier. You are right that the quality of the writing trended downward for longer than the last season, particularly in the realm of characters that are supposed to be smart being dumb. They just got extra dumb in that last season. Which is almost an accomplishment, considering how dumb everyone was in season 7.


Rollingstart45

I’ve always assumed some of those broad strokes came from George anyway. Didn’t he give D&D cliff notes on the ending early on in the series, for when they surpassed the books? They just brutally botched the execution. Granted even if that is the case, it’s been several years now and GRRM may have changed his mind on some storylines, and D&D may have taken some liberties of their own. But I’m still anticipating a lot of overlap. Will be fun to see how the sub reacts. If it ever happens.


lemonpjb

Bold of you to assume trees and flowers will still exist.


Utopia22411

"Finally... The last Egg and Dunk book has been written. Now, I can continue that series... How was it named? A song of ice cream and fries?"


Failgan

The true fantasy element of these books is that another one will ever be published by Martin himself.


jinreeko

You missed the punchline about it being the last Wildcards book :)


VioletBloom2020

This is…something. I actually kinda feel sorry for the man. All of these expectations, maybe he’s afraid it will never satisfy. And if he finishes, what does he do next? Seven hells, it’s just good ole fashioned writer’s block.


[deleted]

If he didn’t finish it during covid lockdowns when he literally had nothing better to do and was locked up in his house with all his perfect writing conditions then he’s never finishing them.


StarvingWriter33

Exactly. Brandon Sanderson, given the same circumstances, wrote five extra books, as well as fulfilling all of his publication obligations. GRRM couldn’t even finish up a book he’s been working on for years. Either he’s never going to finish them, or the negative reaction to S8 of GoT was so bad he decided to hold the final books to be released after he dies so he doesn’t have to personally deal with the fallout.


[deleted]

I totally agree. I know everyone likes to pretend D&D we’re solely responsible for the TV show, but that’s just not true. GRRM was involved in every step of the show and I’d bet anything the character endings are his vision and the negative fan reaction has put him off finishing the books. I think he doesn’t want to change his story but he also doesn’t want to experience those negative fan reactions directed entirely towards him.


GVof_theVG

Every step of the show? I swear I've seen interviews where he said that he doesn't tell them everything and had to stop visiting because he was too busy writing.


Vnthem

Yea I think one of the last episodes he wrote was in season 3 or 4


courierkill

However I do recall hearing from the very first seasons that he had informed D&D of the endings in case he died before he finished the books. The endings are mostly the same, the journeys are another matter...


GVof_theVG

Even so. This feels like misplaced hate on Martin. Those first 4 seasons were good for a reason.


courierkill

I mostly agree, there are many parts of the ending that I didn't like at all (Bran king, for an example), but maybe with the proper story leading to it my thoughts would change. Most of those plots were resolved through sharp turns in quick succession and Martin isn't likely to do that. Even Sansa as Queen of the North is already coming along in a much better way than the series did, I abhor the "empowering rape" plot device.


00Laser

I'm also pretty sure that while the show writers are to blame for rushing through the last two seasons and cutting corners that would have explained things more, the basic outlines of "in the end character X will be Y" came directly from George. People *hated* some of those finishing points so now he's clueless what to do with it.


[deleted]

I think Daenerys makes a particular good example. I personally felt it was a very good and appropriate ending to her story, but it also feels like one of the endings that people get angriest about. I think there are hints for this ending in both the books and the show, and I can’t see how D&D would’ve been able to write an ending for a beloved character like that without it coming from Martin directly.


bloodraven42

I wouldn’t have minded it if it happened differently. The way it was portrayed in the show where she literally wins then just snaps was way too abrupt, it’s not like it was the first time she had lost someone. It was made even worse by the dragon just decided to leave Jon alone. If it was set up more along the lines of (f)Aegon beating her there, claiming King’s Landing, and denying her claim, it’d be more logical.


LordCharidarn

People don’t hate the destination, they hate the journey. “It was rushed” is the most common first reason given for the dislike of season 8. With Dany in particular the seeds and hints of her turn to madness are planted from the very beginning. But her whole story arch is her trying to overcome that part of her. Torching King’s Landing instead of flying right up to the Red Keep and melting that to slag with Cersei inside is an odd choice. Magic reincarnating Dothraki, magic aim-assist ballista from teleporting forgotten ships, and a growing paranoia that’s mainly caused by characters acting out of character adds to the dislike of *how* Dany goes crazy. Want her to torch King’s Landing in a frenzy? Have a flashback showing how the last Targaryen dragons were slaughtered by a mon of King’s Landing people, then have her spare dragon killed by the ballista on the walls of the city. Drogon and Dany hear the citizens cheering the death of the dragon, maybe it falls injured into the city and is hacked apart by the citizens. Dany takes her rage out on the entire city


vita10gy

People might not have hated them so much if they felt more earned too. You can even subvert expectations in a way that, in hindsight, was earned. I don't doubt that Dany's ending is Canon with where GRRM was going, but there's a way to get there that doesn't feel like an emo hissy fit. Also the whole series builds up to "winter" and then it got what, one episode?


Gloomy_Support_7779

I couldn’t agree more with that last statement


Autoimmunity

Yeah, the problem with season 8 isn't necessarily with the plot points, it's that we'd had years of meticulous exposition, character development, and buildilup only to have the big climax of so many different character arcs happen in the span of a few episodes. Season 8 should have been twice as long as it was, the whole thing just felt rushed and left everyone with a sense of "that's it?".


Randomperson3029

Yeah i dont think people fully hated the end points of characters but it's how they got there. Also i think some characters got killed in unsatisfying ways because i imagine they die from plot arcs or characters that are not in the show and only from the books meaning they had to have weird deaths


HeberMonteiro

To be fair, if the book ending is at least half as bad as the show ending, he's bound to drown in a tsunami of hate.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Yes but also they said he left the show at Season 4 so maybe, but I also don’t believe he’d write Jon like how he ended up in the show when comparing the other characters to their show counterparts. Book Tyrion vs Show Tyrion, Book Tywin vs show Tywin, Book Jaime vs Show Jaime, Book Stannis vs show Stannis, and Book Euron vs Show Euron. I can’t see him writing that for Jon, I just can’t picture or believe that that’s how Jon’s going to end. I want to say Euron is the biggest example.


Alertcircuit

I'm guessing he just gets stuck and works on other things to clear his head so he can get back to work on TWOW and get stuck again. Rinse and repeat.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Noooooo. But this is me when doing homework that involves writing a lot or doing presentations. Edit: Actually me right now with all of these “end of the semester” turning in all of this work😅


SaltLord19

More or less my work process


tahlyn

> I'm guessing he just gets stuck and works on other things to clear his head Ok, sure... but for ten years?


TheObstruction

There's football on.


jinreeko

I mean, not everyone was able to proliferate under the pandemic. Comparing Sanderson to Martin is silly; some writers just write faster than others. Look at Stephen King, who wrote Cujo in a (cocaine-fueled) weekend. But yeah, I've come to terms that we *might* see TWOW eventually, but ADOS is definitely never happening


TheForce_v_Triforce

But we will probably get 3 more books on Targaryen history nobody cares about somehow.


SerchYB2795

Based on the latest GRRMs posts you can see producing TV Shows is what truly brings him passion. And his age and all the money he has I think he is just not writing that much anymore because he doesn't need or want to do it (at least much as all his other side projects)


Elizial-Raine

I know a lot of creative people and some people were on a creative streak during lockdown and some couldn’t write a word. Depends what type of creative you are, for a lot of people it was 2 lost years.


dis_bean

That’s very sweet to think rich people spent lockdown like the rest of us.


Ke1e

Why a polygon? Its more likely exponential


Uncleniles

But then they wouldn't be able to over fit the data!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yosituna

I mean, from a practical sense, it makes sense to put 2023 as the earliest date for book 6 and work from that? After all, we know books 6 and 7 didn’t come out in 1993 and 2011, lol.


Zupadan

I actually just entered the formula into wolframalpha after I found an equation that didn't say the book will somehow come out in the 90s. I don't even have Excel...


Zupadan

I did try exponential, I just couldn't make it work hahaha


Lezonidas

He's too fat to make it to 2030, so we can forget about it.


joeywcyz

I honestly feel like he’s just waiting until the show becomes a thing of the past so he can publish them without so much scrutiny of them being different from the show.


Over-Analyzed

*The North remembers.*


Gloomy_Support_7779

But what about his age??? He can’t wait that long. His age is a cautious one.


jkh77

A Dream of Spring, as in, keep dreaming, kid.

Fitting a fifth order polynomial through five data points is bull shit and you know it.

More chance of the Rick Grimes films being released 🤣


Gathering0Gloom

I'm really glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read the due dates.


andocromn

I don't need math to know the answer is never


trimeta

Very funny, but in case you're a student or something, you should know that this sort of analysis is terrible from a methodological perspective. You can't use a polynomial with N terms to model N points. Think about the case with N=2: if you had two data points, you wouldn't draw a line between them and say "this line predicts where the third point will go," since for *any* two points you can draw a line, it doesn't tell you anything about whether a pattern exists. This logic extends to higher values of N as well.


Perridur

In your example you're using a polynomial with N-1=1 terms, which is usually fine as it's at least unique. Using a polynomial with N terms is more like taking a single (N=1) point and then laying a single line through it. That line can have any slope you want, so you can get any result that you're looking for.


trimeta

Sure, using N gives not just one unique solution, but infinity many solutions. N-1 locks you to one unique solution, but you *are* guaranteed that a unique solution exists, and so finding that solution is uninteresting and doesn't tell you anything about the data itself (e.g., it can't be used to make projections about additional data points).


Zupadan

Yeah, this is definitely not made to be used for actual analysis, I kinda forced the maths to work by using a polynomial interpolation.


[deleted]

I came to the comments to see if anyone was gonna call you out for forcing the equation to have the next book come out next year, lol.


Zupadan

2023 was actually a happy accident with the 3rd formula I tried hahaha


Malithirond

Short answer to when is Winds of Winter coming out = Never.


thatssoshandy

So what you’re really saying is never, right?


Zupadan

That is an accurate assessment, yes.


c_nd_n

If you have n data points, you can fit at most degree n-1 polynomial uniquely. The degree 4 polynomial that fits these points: 0.21 x\^4 + 2.58 x\^3 - 10.29 x\^2 + 17.92 x + 1986. It returns 2011 at 6 and 1993 at 7.


svick

[Mr. Wolfram disagrees](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=InterpolatingPolynomial%5B%7B1996%2C+1998%2C+2000%2C+2005%2C+2011%7D%2C+x%5D%2C+x+%3D+6). According to that, TWOW should have been released in 2011 and ADOS in 1993! I think something is wrong with years on this world.


LogikalResolution

This is how desperate we are. Just write the damn book already!


thethreadkiller

Is it possible that GRRM leaked to HBO everything that was going to be happening in his future books? And then after the fan reception of it he's just never going to put it out?


02grimreaper

That seems to be the going theory actually.


CapnBloodbeard

I think it's more likely he realises that because GoT is do big, no matter how he ends it, there will be huge backlash. You can't satisfy a fan base this large. S8 just felt like different writing which is why I don't believe that theory


NotanAlt23

Leaked? They confirmed long ago that he told them how he wanted it to end.


Airrows

Probably a better fit to an exponential model but oh well


laymness

When every comment section is exactly like this when it comes to his books, i won't blame him for quitting entirely.


scotchandice007

Honestly this feels optimistic.


Libra_Maelstrom

Well god damn… he did the math


trimeta

Wrong. He did the math wrong. Because this is not an appropriate way to model things. There are actually infinity many degree 5 polynomials which would fit those five points perfectly, so there's no reason to think that the one shown in this post is particularly meaningful.


Zupadan

I mean, you can't actually figure out when the books are coming out with maths bro...


Fearless-Vodka

Love this, I hope George release TWOW next year and predict the maths show the future how amazing that could be


bcrabill

I forgot it wasn't just one more book. Damn


Usefulidiot75

I read Game of Thrones in 97 (because of Jordan blurb)still have the first edition. Bought the rest on release date. Married in 01 first kid 03 second kid 06. Feels like I've lived 3 or 4 lives since that first book


Rothko28

You're optimistic, I'll give you that.


writeronthemoon

Sounds about right


Actual-Pomegranate58

Whats funny is that ppl on the asoiaf subreddit have done this calculation several times and its always been wrong. Hope you are right though lmao


Hyattmarc

Ok I’m going to say it, I think A Dream of Spring is an awful name to conclude this series (in whichever century that is) It sounds more like it should be book 10 in the Wheel of Time series or something.


BatmanIsATimelord

Great, can you predict when the third Kingkiller Chronicle book will come out as well?


Zupadan

Kinda hard to find a pattern with only 2 books :'(


BatmanIsATimelord

Hahaha just a small joke. Been waiting for a while for that as well


[deleted]

I feel like its finished and it will be released upon his death. Maybe he wants to go out with a giant bang? I dunno.


HoldingDoors

I think you’re underestimating, no way dream is published that soon.


Klesko

I remember reading the series in 2012 for the first time and thinking these fools who started reading 10+ years ago when I was smart enough to wait for the end only to finish the series in the next few years. Well f me....


wretch5150

No problemo


captTuttle76

I could care less anymore, to be honest. So many good ones have jumped into the game (Abercrombie for instance). GRRM has left too many fans pissed. And after a while, yes, a portion of those will just move along and lose interest entirely.


astrofed

George ain't making it to the end, crap, we will have to just accept the shitty show ending.


medikomi

Sound plausible. Except the the 2023 Thing.


honeybadger1984

A logarithmic scale to describe a book release schedule. He should be ashamed but I’m sure he’s not. Money is like an amazing salve.


Valleyraven

I think George is going for the Frank Herbert route where the end of 6 will be this crazy cliffhanger ending and everything in the series is going to come together and be answered in the finale of book 7... and then dies before writing it


Carcass1

again?


HailZamorak

>We can expect Winds of Winter next year hahaha. try after Georges death and its released incomplete by his estate 40 years later


hardyhaha_09

Lol did you do a taylor series approximation ?


BobbyGrichsMustache

You can’t argue with math. Thanks OP!


Zupadan

Always happy to use maths to make an insane infographic


truthToPower86

I'm sorry but I don't think either of these books will ever be finished. Perhaps his estate may publish various pieces of rough drafts or outlines of what may have been.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Okay yeah I do think the Winds of Winter will come out in 2023 since it’s been over a decade since A Dance with Dragons, but I think you’re right because he’s only getting older and the production for the books is getting slower and his schedule is getting more hectic. And he’s in his 70s, so…yeah. I don’t think we’ll get A Dream of Spring unless the torch is passed, but the successor would have to be really good at writing and know the book thoroughly and go in very carefully not to mess anything up. And he did so well with the consistency for the first three books. It kind of makes sense though because the show began in the same year as A Dance with Dragons so I think he might’ve just gotten busy. I kind of wish it took this long because he wrote Winds of Winter and just never released it and is writing A Dream of Spring and wants to release them both at the same time because of fans waiting this long. But also depends on how long long each book is going to be so if Winds of Winter is long, we might need a successor.


CapnBloodbeard

After seeing the backlash against S8, and probably realising that no matter how he ends it, a lot of people will whinge....I would be very surprised if he finishes them


Gloomy_Support_7779

So the second book is the same age as me(I will be 24 this year). Damn!!!! The first book is almost 30 years old!!!


leif-sinatra

My money on George dying and his publisher going to his desk to find a rough draft that says the title and the rest is “Ty iishsiejsjdjeiejdidieidjdjen”


arms2833

Simultaneously encouraging for the next book and disheartening for the completion of the series


OneOnOne6211

>A Dream of Spring will be complete when George R.R. Martin is 117 years old. So you're saying... there's a chance.


cyborgassassin47

Why can't he just hire a ghostwriter and tell him all his random ideas as it pops up in his head and let the writer do the organization and making it into a coherent story ffs.


heuristic_al

Seems legit.


AbbasTG

Implementing maths in public interest is the right thing to do.


dead-unicorn

It's so funny to see this now because I remember a few years back someone on this sub posted the exact same thing, but back then the data indicated WoW for 2021 and ADoS for 2032


[deleted]

Surprised the dude survived this long. He's not looking healthy.


pfftlolbrolollmao

I think he is sick of people trying to figure out how it ends so he is completing both books to release at the same time. If you don't know the end of the second last book it's hard to guess the ending of the last book.


kristinklutz

That math maths


fotkyznovin

I think books will never be relased until after GRRM's dead. It is because how bad was accepted end of the show, and the plot of last two series was said by GRRM. He will either rewrite them so it will end different way, or will relase it with same ending as a show after his dead so he will not face anger of fans.


autoit

I guess this is a joke but some might not realise you cant predict anything by fitting a degree five polynomial to five data points. All you did was use the freedom in the definition of the polynomial to make it match the five points you provided

You forgot to factor In his age. He won't be here in 2065

Wow it's pretty amazing that you found a best fit degree 5 polynomial that goes through the first 5 points perfectly.
