I thought I might be taking a risk to deal a word with an Australian
definition but then equally I hoped most of you would think it was too
obvious to be real. And so it came to pass that two players correctly
identified pituri as the shrub with narcotic leaves. Considerably more
popular was J Barrs's whistling rock which fooled five of you and gained
him the next deal; he was also the only DQ. Guerri Stevens and Paul
Keating tied for the coveted second place with four points.
1. [Med.] dot-like hemorrhages on the surface of the brain at autopsy
indicative of malaria.
from Nancy Shepherdson: voted 13 & 14 Score = 1 + 2* = 3
2. a device for measuring airspeed (from _Pitot_ and _Venturi_).
from Efrem Mallach: voted 10 & 15 Score = 1
3. [Obs.] psoriasis or perhaps some other disease of the skin.
from Dodi Schultz: voted 3 & 9 Score = 3
4. Among Gypsies: the hedgehog, _Erinaceus europaeus_.
from Shani Naylor: voted 1 & 17 Score = 2
5. an Erlenmeyer flask with an extended neck

6. a device for detecting gas in mines.
