This was an interesting round with four people creating definitions
similar to number 8, the one from my dictionary, and three people
thinking about clay.
The next deal is for Bill Hirst who earned 5 natural points for his feng
shui turtle. The real winners are Toni with 5 unnatural points, Chuck
with 4 natural points, and Russ with 4 unnatural points.
Take it away, Bill!
