This round seems to have gone fairly smoothly, with just one definition
from Dave "lost in the post", and one expected vote (from Toni) not in
evidence at the deadline. Right up to the end I thought the dictionary
was going to win (number 9, "A trigonal mineral associated with oxidized
base-metal ores", but Scott's nutritional supplement just crossed the
line first thanks to him guessing the correct definition.
So the next deal is for Scott with 7 unnatural points; the real winner
is Toni with her crystalline rock. Could that have been a tactical
non-vote, I wonder?
