Default [Dixonary] Round 2925 GANTLOPE results

Hi all

Our runaway winner is Tim Lodge, with 7 unnatural points for his wooden
member. In coveted second place is Dan Widdis, with 3 points - Dan was on
the right track when he mentioned the "gauntlet". The gantlope punishment
is the origin of the phrase "running the gauntlet".

Take it away Tim!
