Nancy Shepherdson is the winner of this round, with 5 natural points for her
"barren wasteland".
Matthew Grieco, Jim Hart, and Dave Cunningham were next, each scoring 4
unnatural points.
And they were also the perceptive 3 who chose No. 13, the correct definition
for OCHE :
"the line behind which a darts player must stand when throwing".

Congratulations Nancy; it's all yours.
All the best
Millie
