Round 1633 went right down to the wire! The last two people to
vote each selected Dave Cunningham's sweets-only taste buds (#10)
to give him a total of 5 natural points and the next deal. Toni
Savage added two points for guessing that the correct definition
of MELISMA was #3 (several notes on one syllable) to three points
for her four part #16, which makes her the real winner, with 5
mixed points. Congratulations to both of them, as well as to the
five with four points: Tony Abell, Bill Hirst, Tim Lodge, Dodi
Schultz, and my American Heritage Dictionary.
It's all yours, Dave DiP!
