As some have wisely pointed out, both here and privately, I really
should have combined 5 (from Mike Shefler) and 8 (from Mr Chambers).
But then what about 9 and 13 which were both very close. So I left
them; next time I’ll do it better I hope.
I considered adjusting the scores to compensate for this but then
figured that would only add to the confusion and any difference in
final scores would be minimal. I have however sent 2 dealer points to
Tim B because I accidentally truncated his original definition.
So the final result is a three-way dead heat with 4 points each to
Toni Savage, Dave Cunningham and the dealer. Toni has a natural 4 and
so gets to be the next dealer, leaving Dave as the real winnah and the
dealer standing in the corner.
