Please note that Cory was uncooperative, so I had to edit the results to make corrections. I hope the following is accurate. If there are any errors, I apologize in advance.
The winner of round 2301 is Chris Carson, whose definition "a short cape" received 5 votes, plus 2 points for guessing the correct definition. Millie Morgan takes coveted second place with 5 points. And there were 2 players in runner-up position with 4 points: Paul Keating and Mike Shefler. The true definition was 17: "stout cotton cloth" (http://phrontistery.info/j.html), which 2 perceptive players guessed. I don't seem to have received a vote from Toni Savage -- and Johnny Barrs was a DQ.
