[Dixonary] Round 1615 (TRAGOPAN): Scores & final report
Well, we seem to have weathered our first full round after being tossed
abruptly out of our comfortable Parlor and out into the cold, cruel Webworld. We've even welcomed back a couple of former Dixonarians! Two players, Chris Carson and Dave Cunningham, guessed rightly that a tragopan is an Asian pheasant, which gave Chris four points and the deal for the upcoming round. Two others, both residents of England--John Barrs and Marijke van Gans--*knew* somehow that a tragopan is an Asian pheasant and were DQs; so did Tim Lodge, who *would* have been a DQ except he's been too busy changing nappies to play this round. (How come people in England know so much about Asian pheasants?) The runners-up, a/k/a "real winners," with three points apiece, are Dave, Tony Abell, Len Goran, and Russ Heimerson. Details, below.
