Fully five players guessed that the correct definition was the rug,
giving WordNet (from dict.org) a D5. (I think the M-W 3rd
International also lists numdah, but I don't have access to that
unless I want to pay or make a trip to the library.) The Tims took it
this round, with the deal going to Tim Lodge for his small fishing
boat offering, while the real winner is Tim Bourne and his bread. A
broad point distribution, otherwise, with only Larry Halman suffering
getting no points. Hard luck, Larry.
Take it away, Mr. Lodge, if you're up for it. Otherwise, Mr. Bourne
is next in line.
