Sorry for the delay in posting the results. The winner and next dealer is
Dodi Schultz, who picked up 7 natural points despite being DQ. Matt Grieco and
Jim Hart are the runners up with 6 points each (the former's definition having
been combined with the real one). The dictionary earned a D6.
Take it away, Dodi!
