Three players zeroed in on the rather unlikely meaning of darak, as used in
the Philippines: rice bran. Mike Shefler did not Tagalog with them, but he
nonetheless earned 6 natural points, which gives him the deal. Dodi Schultz
and Glen Boswell are the real winners with 5 points each. There were no DQs.

Take it away, Mike!
