The winner of this round is Dodi Schultz, way ahead of the pack with 8
natural points.
Tony Abell was next with 4 natural points.
Keith Hale and Dick Weltz spotted the correct definition ... and in a
"strange" way I suppose Steve Graham did too :)
It was No.5, the subatomic particle.

Congratulations Dodi
All the best
Millie
