modicum of hardware hassles I have the results. Hopefully, I managed to
pick up all of the submitted votes.

apparition." received 5 votes, plus 2 points for guessing the correct def.
Mike Shefler takes coveted second place with 5 points. Keith Hale is
runner-up with 4 points.

Maryland in early colonial days." (OED 2nd), which 3 perceptive players
guessed.
