Dick Weltz, whose African wooden flute could perhaps have been combined with the real def,
is the winner of this round with a natural 6. Tim Bourne had the misfortune to guess the
correct def, and so is awarded the deal with 7 points. Extreme pessimest that he is, I'm
sure he's not surprised. Paul Keating submitted a def so close to the real def that I decided
it best just to use that.
