Hi Millie,

What a fine crop of definitions. I am convinced they are all fake, even the
one that isn't!

My votes are for defs 3 and 6:

> 3: petroleum residue after distillation.

> 6: a solitaire game played with 4 52-card decks

Best, Hugo

America:

All seem equally likely. Well, at least 15 of them. I'll try:

and

Very mysterious. Much as I once enjoyed latakia tobacco and mystical
liquors, how about -

2: A broad, raised stone platform

and
