As every player who submitted a def has voted, I'm declaring the polls
closed and the Winner to be Dave Cunningham (another back-to-back deal) for
his Hungarian lead crystal. Shani Naylor is the real winnwer with an
unnatural 5 points, closely followed by Nancy Shepherdon and Efrem Mallach,
both with natural 4s. Two of you guessed that the real meaning of ZARDOZI
was 12 - the South Asian embroidery. I was half expecting to see
references to the 1974 movie ZARDOZ with Sean Connery, but I didn't!
Back to you, Dave.
