I'm now back on a fairly reliable Internet connection. Here are 21
defs of the word HELLANODIC, only one of which I found in a
dictionary. I had to make some fairly tough decisions about whether
to combine defs - I'll leave you to guess what I decided!
Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to
this one), before the deadline of:
11:00 UTC/GMT on Wednesday 21st December, which is
6:00 AM EST and
3:00 AM PST, all on the same day.
New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this
round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious,
are at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/coryphaeus/files/Game%
20Rules%20and%20Advice%20for%20Players/
