Congratulations to Tim Lodge, our next dealer, who combined four
votes with two points for identifying the right definition for a
total of six points. (Sorry about the almost back-to-back deals,
Tim!) He thus ties with the dealer's six points, who had somehow
thought that the correct definition of SPRACK (#11) was too
verbose to be appealing. The "real" winners, with 5 mixed points
each, are Roberta Muths and Nancy Shepherdson. Congratulations to
all.
Tim, Round 1724 is in your court!
And thanks for a good round, guys...
