It takes 2 to tango, so I put the real def as #2, and lo and behold, 2 of
you
voted for it. Coincidence? I think not.
In any case, the stars have aligned to give a tie between Dodi Schultz, and
Guerri Stevens with 5 natural points each. Dodi is ahead in the rolling
scores
so she gets the next deal.
Maxixe is also the name of a town in Mozambique (at one time the country
was under
Portuguese influence). Whether the dance originated there or not I do not
know, nor
do I know whether aquamarines were ever mined in Mozambique.

Further research:

"Deposits in Nigeria and Mozambique are more recent discoveries, where high quality aquamarine of dark color has been unearthed. The Mozambique material can exhibit an especially rich blue color, and a well cut aquamarine from this area is a real treasure." (http://www.attawaygems.com/NMFG/Lets_talk_gemstones_aquamarine.htm

From the Spanish Wikipedia entry for maxixe:
"Fue desarrollado por los esclavos negros que provenÃ*an de Maxixe, Mozambique (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozambique) y se la considera una de las primeras danzas urbanas creadas en Brasil (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasil)
"
which Google translates as: "It was developed by black slaves from Maxixe, Mozambique (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozambique) and is considered one of the first urban dance created in Brazil (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasil) "
