This was round that stretched scientific understandings - including mine
- with a word I had never seen until a couple of weeks ago. It earned me
a D5 - one gene coding for two or more characteristics
I also apologise for the long voting time - both myself and car in
dry-dock gave me a frantic time - now all resolved in that the car is
safe to drive and I am safe to do something-or-other
Chris Carson scored 7 and is our next dealer The real winner is Steve
Graham with 6 points
