Here are the results
Jim Hart scored an unatural 7 and would be our next dealer except that he is out of town and computer-less until Sunday evening his
time - in other words, because he cannot deal he becomes the real winner!!! Chuck's Esperanto earns an honourable mention
Tim Lodge with natural 6 points for the keystone thus becomes our next dealer with a back-to-back deal - However, he asks our
patience as he is out of orbit this afternoon and will post as soon as he can (about 5 and 1/2 hours from my issuing these results)
The real def is #7, the cushion. some people emailed me privately that they hadn't found it anywhere. it is from the "century
dictionary on-line" http://www.global-language.com/CENTURY/
