My apologies for the delay in posting results. I normally play the game by logging onto my home computer via remote desktop from the office. Unfortunately, my work notebook suffered a particularly virulent viral infection that killed the hard drive's boot sector and required replacing and reimaging the drive. I've just got to the point where I can run RDP so here we are.
In round 2047, 3 players earned top spot with 4 points: they
were John Barrs, Paul Keating and Daniel Widdis. Since Paul's 4 was unnatural, that leaves John and Dan tied with John well ahead in the rolling scores. Therefore, John
Barrs's definition "A lighthouse." has earned its author the deal, and the others can heave a sigh of relief that their defs did not earn one more vote.
Tony Abell takes runner-up position with 3 points.
The true definition was 9: "A state of tumult or consternation." (OED 2nd.). A last minute lucky guess just pipped me for a D0.
