A disturbing number of players discerned the correct definition in
this round, even though it doesn't make any sense no matter how many
times you read it. Or maybe that's WHY people voted for it. Either
way, Webster's 1828 (online) tied John Barrs and Chuck Emery, both of
whom guessed the correct definition and scored 5 mixed points. John
has the clear lead in the 4-round rolling average, so he's da winnah
and takes the deal, and Chuck is the real winner.
Take it away, John!
