The second voter, Dick Weltz, spoiled a potential D0 by casting his vote
for the real def--#12, the large-headed, small-billed tropical bird
(found in several dictionaries; the def quoted came from the Concise
OED). Dick racked up a total of five points--his supernatural force, #9,
attracted three believers--and is runner-up.
There was a tie for top scorer and next dealer; Toni Savage's small
apple, #5, and Judy Madnick's multiple-choice def, #11, each received
six votes. By virtue of her higher ranking in the rolling scores, our
dealer for Round 2124 is Toni.
