Yoiks! I thought this round was going well and then this...I had to search
for the third level tie breaker when two players scored identically and
were tied in the rolling scores. According to my research in the group,
that means the next dealer is the player who is highest in the CUMULATIVE
scores, since Round 1.
This is on top of a four-way tie for top vote getter, to wit: Chris
Carson, Tim Lodge, and Steve Graham all had four natural points in a round
where no one had a clear lead, ever. Shari Naylor also scored four
unnaturally by guessing that the real def was #8, "one of the furs." I
though this was a perfect Dixon definition in its vagueness combined with
explicatory overspecificity. And it fooled all but two of you.
Respectable.
Upshot: according to my calculations, Chris is ahead of Tim cumulatively
and so is next dealer. Tim, Steve and Shari are real winners.
I'm also awarding Dodi two dealer points for a definition sent but missed.
And Tony Abell gets two points for guessing right even though he had no
def.
So here are the totals.
1. a sort of soft apple.
Dave Cunningham 0 + 1 = 1
Votes: Lodge
2. 2. the degree of angle on the cutting edge of a sculptor's
chisel
Dick Weltz 0 + 1 =
1
Votes: Shefler
3. 3. An African palm tree.
Efrem Mallach 0 + 0 = 0
4. 4. Dry, hollow plant stalk
Judy Madnick 0 + 1 = 1
Votes: Mallach
5. 5. To roll slices of bacon or other smoked meat in ground pea
meal before frying [Canada]
John Barrs DQ + 1 = 1
Votes: Widdis
6. A brood of pheasants.
Shani Naylor 2 + 2 = 4
Votes: Madnick, Abell
7.
7. a metal wedge used for splitting logs.
Tim Lodge 0 + 4 = 4
Votes: Weltz, Widdis, Mallach, Hale
8. One of the furs; represented as sable powdered with spots of gold.
OED
Votes: Abell, Naylor D2
9. A kind of bread.
Dan Widdis 0 + 1 = 1
Votes: Bourne
10. a cry of jubilation
Jim Hart 0 + 2 = 2
Votes: Borne, Hale
11. 11. A double-edged dagger formerly used in Ireland and
Scotland.
Chris Carson 0 + 4 = 4
Votes: Shefler, Cunningham, Lodge, Schultz
12. a flat-bottomed square-prowed wooden skiff.
Mike Shefler 0 + 2 = 2
Votes: Weltz, Stevens
13. [obs] A hand crank used to draw the steel prod of an arbalest.
Steve
Graham 0
+ 4 = 4
Votes: Madnick, Cunningham, Schultz, Naylor
14. elegy, lament [Welsh]
Tim Bourne 0 + 0 = 0
15.
13. a summons for a banished person
Keith Hale 0 + 1 = 1
Votes: Stevens
16. to strip someone of power or status.
Guerri Stevens 0 + 0 = 0
Dodi Schultz, +2 dealer points
Tony Abell: +2*, no def
