My apologies for being a little later in posting these results
than I would have liked; I had a meeting this evening which ran
somewhat longer than expected.

Dodi Schultz's alewife (#10) earns the dealership for Round 1762,
with five natural points. The multiform canker makes Nancy
Shepherdson the "real" winner with four natural points, and
Johnny Barrs mixed four points is next in line. His was also the
only mixed score, because he was the only person who correctly
guessed that tasco is a kind of clay for making melting pots
(#5).

I am sorry I spoiled your D0 - I was intrigued at the concept of the usefulness of a melting pot and my mind 'saw' something with
puddles of melted pot on the stove top (yes, I have put plastic pots on the stove - not recently, but) so I thought I was awarding a
bright-eyed bluff
