name for a synthetic fibre of high stiffness and tensile strength, used
mainly as a reinforcing agent in composite materials and as a constituent
of ropes and cables; also, any of various materials made from or
strengthened with this fibre." received 3 votes, plus 2 points for guessing
the correct def.
Dodi Schultz takes coveted second place with 4 points. And there were 3
players in runner-up position with 3 points: Dave Cunningham, Millie Morgan
and Dick Weltz.

Heritage Medical Dictionary, ed. 2007), which 3 perceptive players guessed.
