Two players, Russ Heimerson and John Barrs, knew that neper had
something to do with electrical signal ratios and were DQ for this
round. Three other players guessed as much and voted for the
definition from the International House of Logorrhea Phrontistery. The
deal goes to a fairly new player, Roberta Muths (aka Keno), who voted
for the correct definition on top of her three natural points, for a
total of five. Nancy Shepherdson and Guerri Stevens are the real
winners with four points each.
