At last, I think I've got things straightened out. I had to edit the
results due to a couple of glitches in Cory's player list. I hadn't
updated it for some time and there were a couple of unmerged entries for
people who use two email addresses. I also think I have my desktop
limping along. Now that I have some time, I think I'd better do some
driver diagnostics and see what other surprises might lurk.
Anyway, the very belated 'official' results follow. Congratulations to
Efrem for tallying 14 points. That must be close to a record.
The winner of round 2664 and new dealer is Efrem Mallach, whose definition
"[Gr.] a dramatic structure in which the chorus provides the audience with
information that the characters in a drama would already know." received
12 votes, plus 2 points for guessing the correct def.
Shani Naylor takes coveted second place with 7 points. Dodi Schultz is
runner-up with 4 points.
The true definition was 3: "An irresistible compulsion." (AHD 5th), which
5 perceptive players guessed.
