The D0 suspense was over with the first vote, and much as I hate to say it, that correct guess makes the new dealer Toni Savage, who submitted the popular definition 13, receiving 4 votes along with the 2 points for guessing correctly. That's 5 deals in 10 rounds if my count is correct and must be near a record.

Tim Bourne takes coveted second place with 5 points.

And there were 2 players in runner-up position with 4 points: Wayne Scott
and Daniel Widdis.

The true definition was 15: "The part of the blade of a sword that is next
to the hilt." (American Heritage 4th Edition) , leaving me with a D4.
