Round 3001 GRAINEUR Results

[Tim Lodge]

The votes were fairly evenly spread, with everyone who submitted a def getting at least one vote.  The new dealer is Judy Madnick with 5 votes for her poet-musician, while Tim Bourne, Dave Cunningham, and Hugo Kornelis are joint real winners with 3 points each.  Hugo was the only player to guess that a GRAINEUR is a producer of silkworm eggs, although our resident polymath, John Barrs, deduced the meaning and was DQ.

Over to you, Judy!

[Judy Madnick]

I guess my definition was (unlucky!) #13! As I said to Tim in a private message, I think I liked it better when I was a once-a -year winner.

 

Be back in a few minutes.
