[Dixonary] Round 2393: gnoff - Final Posting

[Christopher Carson]

Abject apologies for the delay in the results. I suffered a self-induced
computer glitch when I ran the Win8 upgrade over the weekend.

Anywy, in round 2393, 2 players earned top spot with 4 points: they were
Tim Bourne and Nancy Shepherdson. Tim
Bourne's definition "The young of a gnu." earned its author the deal, and
Nancy Shepherdson can heave a sigh of relief that "In typography, a
standard measure of the horizontal and vertical displacement of a font."
did not earn one more vote.

There were 5 players in runner-up position with 3 points each: John Barrs,
Keith Hale, Jim Hart, Tim Lodge and Judy Madnick.

The true definition was 12: "A churl." (OED 2nd). One lucky guess just
pipped me for a D0.

1. A mountain lake (especially one formed by glaciers). Votes from:
Hart and Shepherdson
Submitted by: Widdis, who scores natural 2.
2. [OE] To eat extremely quickly and without manners. Vote from:
Mallach
Submitted by: Emery, who scores natural 1.
3. A medium-grade metamorphic rock with small grains of
mica flake, and showing a greater degree of metamorphism
than schist. Votes from: Graham, Lodge and Schultz
Submitted by: Hart, who scores natural 3.
4. A knot hole in a piece of lumber. Vote from: Boswell
Submitted by: Hale, who scores 1 + 2, total 3.
5. A flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the
femoral head with the femoral shaft Vote from: Mallach
Submitted by: Morgan, who scores natural 1.
6. A small, needle like part of a marine sponge. Vote from:
Cunningham
Submitted by: Stevens, who scores natural 1.
7. A thief, swindler, crook, or rascal. Votes from: Bourne, Graham
and Stevens
Submitted by: Madnick, who scores natural 3.
8. A type of mantle worn by Orthodox priests during Lent. Vote from:
Widdis
Submitted by: Shefler, who scores natural 1.
9. [Obs.] 1. a sage or scholar; savant. 2. one deemed an
authority in a particular realm of knowledge. Vote from:
Shepherdson
Submitted by: Schultz, who scores natural 1.
10. The young of a gnu. Votes from: Abell, Lodge, Morgan and Shefler
Submitted by: Bourne, who scores natural 4.
11. A heavy woollen cloth, often used for military
greatcoats. Votes from: Abell, Boswell and Widdis
Submitted by: Lodge, who scores natural 3.
12. A churl. Vote from: Hale Real definition from OED 2nd
13. In typography, a standard measure of the horizontal and
vertical displacement of a font. Votes from: Hale, Hart, Madnick
and Stevens
Submitted by: Shepherdson, who scores natural 4.
14. A small hill. (Hungarian) Vote from: Schultz
Submitted by: Cunningham, who scores natural 1.
15. Pork dumpling from southern Germany, traditionally
eaten with spaetzle. No votes
Submitted by: Mallach.
16. The keystone of a Romanesque arch. Votes from: Bourne and
Cunningham
Submitted by: Boswell, who scores natural 2.
17. Head; forehead. No votes
Submitted by: Abell.

Millers Tale had a gnoff - a rude, lewd, boor or churl -- so another DQ is

I believe I voted for "churl" and should have two more points. I'm on my way to Albany and using my iPod so it's a bit more difficult to check my sent mail.

There's a problem here. My definition, the pork dumplings, was 16 in the list that was originally sent out but is 15 here. As 16, it got (at least) two votes: from Tim Bourne and Dave Cunningham. Definition 15, which was a small hill (Hungarian) in the original list, apparently didn't get any, but that wasn't mine.

I don't know where the lists got out of synch, but I think this should be redone.

Ouch! I've been bitten for some reason by the re-ordered definition bug I
see. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'll see if I can reconstruct the
round from the saved messages.

Ah, now I see that my votes were applied to the wrong definitions also.

NEW and REVISED RESULTS. I think this should make more sense. Somehow
when I marked Johnny a DQ it also dropped his def from it's original
position and re-added it. This makes Judy the lucky second place holder
and Jim Hart the new dealer.

In round 2393, 2 players earned top spot with 5 points: they were Jim Hart
and Judy Madnick. Jim Hart's definition "A medium-grade metamorphic rock
with small grains of mica flake, and showing a greater degree of
metamorphism than schist." earned its author the deal, and Judy Madnick
can heave a sigh of relief that "A thief, swindler, crook, or rascal." did
not earn one more vote.

Dodi Schultz takes runner-up position with 4 points.

The true definition was 13: "A churl." (OED 2nd), which 4 perceptive
players guessed.

1. A mountain lake (especially one formed by glaciers). Votes from:
Hart and Shepherdson
Submitted by: Widdis, who scores natural 2.
2. [OE] To eat extremely quickly and without manners. Vote from:
Mallach
Submitted by: Emery, who scores natural 1.
3. A medium-grade metamorphic rock with small grains of
mica flake, and showing a greater degree of metamorphism
than schist. Votes from: Graham, Lodge and Schultz
Submitted by: Hart, who scores 3 + 2, total 5.
4. A knot hole in a piece of lumber. Vote from: Boswell
Submitted by: Hale, who scores 1 + 2, total 3.
5. A flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the
femoral head with the femoral shaft Vote from: Mallach
Submitted by: Morgan, who scores natural 1.
6. A small, needle like part of a marine sponge. Vote from:
Cunningham
Submitted by: Stevens, who scores 1 + 2, total 3.
7. A thief, swindler, crook, or rascal. Votes from: Bourne, Graham
and Stevens
Submitted by: Madnick, who scores 3 + 2, total 5.
8. Onomatopoeic sound representing half-suppressed
laughter; frequently used to indicate sexual innuendo. Vote from:
Widdis
Submitted by: Barrs (DQ), who scores natural 1.
9. A type of mantle worn by Orthodox priests during Lent. Vote from:
Shepherdson
Submitted by: Shefler, who scores natural 1.
10. [Obs.] 1. a sage or scholar; savant. 2. one deemed an
authority in a particular realm of knowledge. Votes from: Abell,
Lodge, Morgan and Shefler
Submitted by: Schultz, who scores natural 4.
11. The young of a gnu. Votes from: Abell, Boswell and Widdis
Submitted by: Bourne, who scores natural 3.
12. A heavy woollen cloth, often used for military
greatcoats. Vote from: Hale
Submitted by: Lodge, who scores natural 1.
13. A churl. Votes from: Hale, Hart, Madnick and Stevens Real
definition from OED 2nd
14. In typography, a standard measure of the horizontal and
vertical displacement of a font. Vote from: Schultz
Submitted by: Shepherdson, who scores natural 1.
15. A small hill. (Hungarian) No votes
Submitted by: Cunningham.
16. Pork dumpling from southern Germany, traditionally
eaten with spaetzle. Votes from: Bourne and Cunningham

Whew! That was a close call...especially because we're out of town.

It certainly makes more sense to me, as it hands the deal to someone else!

Best wishes,

I think I liked the first version better. And even though I saw my score
creep up I thought my low rolling score would save me. Ah well, a new word
will appear but it's now way past my bedtime so you will have to wait a
little longer.

Jim
