Round 1847, GRIDELIN, was neck and neck there for a while, but
our next dealer is clearly Guerri Stevens, whose tripping imp
(#14) earned five natural points. First runner-up was Paul
Keating (#5) with five unnatural (i.e., mixed) points. Tied for
third place with four points each were Dodi Schultz (#15, French
cheese) and my Webster's NI2 dictionary--four of you correctly
picked the bluish-red color, #9.

Take it away, Guerri!
