The very first person to vote guessed that the correct definition
of KOLINSKY is #7, the Asiatic mink, so at least I didn't have to
hold my breath for 36 hours in hopes of a D0. Our new dealer is
Bill Hirst, whose human cannon ball (#12) was just the right
caliber to collect 5 natural points. Next in line were Judy
Madnick and Paul Keating, with 4 mixed points each.
Thanks to all for the fun.
It's all yours, Bill! (The next round is Round 1629, by the way.)
