This was an low-scoring round, until very late on there were lots of people
with 2 or 3 but for once, Paul failed in his tactical vote by choosing the
real definition (#13) thus contributing to my D4 So, the next deal is for
Paul Keating with 5 unnatural points. Dave Cunningham’s small measure
provided the real winner with 4 points
