According to my calculations, the results of Round 2445 are as follows: Jim Hart is the next dealer with 6 votes. Steve Graham is the lucky player who came in second with 5 votes. The "real" definition (from http://phrontistery.info) is No. 14, "covered walkway used for exercise" -- with no votes! There were two DQs, Millie Morgan and John Barrs.

I hope I transcribed the votes correctly. If you see any errors, please let me know. Since the deadline was 8 p.m. and it's only 8:14 p.m., I guess you can tell that I'm happy to have completed this round!

Judy

congrats on the D0 -- re the two DQs Millie and I don't count - Dan (I
think it was Dan) once jokingly suggested that a D0 involving no DQs should
be rated differently

Congrats on the D0. I think DQs are a separate issue. One is about happening to know the word, the other is about being able to figure it out or guess it when you don't. These are unrelated. Other than removing two people from the pool who might have guessed it at random, neither has anything to do with the other. You earned your D0. Glory in it. Have another slice of birthday cake.

Oh. I only just looked in and now find that not only am I too late to vote,
I'm also a bit late in dealing a new word. My, how time flies. OK, new word
soonish.
