Round 2381 has come to an end, and it gives me great pleasure to hand the
Deal straight back to Dave ... his lector's pointer scored him 4 votes and
the win.
Chris, Mike, Efrem and Chuck were close behind with 3 each.
The correct definition was No.9 the egg incubator, which Johnny Barrs knew
and Scott Crom guessed.
Best wishes,
Millie
