My Chambers defines spayad as 'a hart in his third year' which four of you
were astute enough to uncover. The first one to do so was the very first
voter, Judy Madnick, who wins the deal for Round 2015 with 7 points, leaving
Tim Lodge to cry over the measly 6 points he received. I had some problems
with the results, so if anyone notices any scoring that looks wrong, let me
know and I'll try to figure out what happened.

Glad you warned me ahead of time. I knew I had received a number of votes but didn't realize that I guessed the real definition!

It's been a long time...so give me a few minutes to get my thoughts together.
