Well, for a round that started shakily, the finish isn't too bad. I thought that
submitting a tasty pastry def at this time of year was iffy and sure enough, 4
of you weren't fooled.
Our new dealer, unambiguous this time, is Kathryn Lance, who submitted definition 18,
which earned a natural 6 .
Guerri Stevens takes coveted second place with 5 points.
And there were 4 players in runner-up position with 4 points: Scott Crom,
Dodi Schultz, Daniel B. Widdis and Dave Cunningham.
The true definition was 14: "A cake made with layers of nut meringue and
whipped cream or buttercream." (American Heritage 4th Edition) , leaving me
with a D4.
So Kathryn, take it away ....
