The winner of round 2114 is Tim Lodge, whose definition "the
angle formed where two sloping sides of a roof meet or where
a sloping side meets a sloping end" received 7 votes, plus
2 points for guessing the correct def. And he deserves the deal
since he was the first person to destroy my chances for a
D0. :-)
John Barrs takes coveted second place with 5 points. And
there were 2 players in runner-up position with 4 points:
Tony Abell and Paul Keating.
