Well, we seem to have weathered our first full round after being tossed
abruptly out of our comfortable Parlor and out into the cold, cruel
Webworld. We've even welcomed back a couple of former Dixonarians!
Two players, Chris Carson and Dave Cunningham, guessed rightly that a
tragopan is an Asian pheasant, which gave Chris four points and the deal
for the upcoming round. Two others, both residents of England--John Barrs
and Marijke van Gans--*knew* somehow that a tragopan is an Asian pheasant
and were DQs; so did Tim Lodge, who *would* have been a DQ except he's been
too busy changing nappies to play this round.
(How come people in England know so much about Asian pheasants?)
The runners-up, a/k/a "real winners," with three points apiece, are Dave,
Tony Abell, Len Goran, and Russ Heimerson.
Details, below.
Over to you, Chris!
