Tim Bourne wins the next deal with his passage between tenements.  That def got 4 votes plus 2 more for voting for the true def, number 1, which obviously wasn't subtle or guilefully cunning enough to fool him and three others.  Six players shared coveted second place with 3 points each.

Over to you, Tim B.

I think this was promised DP for closing the def submission round early.

 

And while I’m not sure 0 + 0 = 2 has been proven, there are ample proofs on the internet that 0 / 0 = 2.

> Over to you, Tim B.

The timing of this is very poor, as on Friday we go away for 2 weeks, and past experience tells me
the wifi in among the mountains of the English Lake District is very erratic. I should have said
something to that effect when voting.

I wonder if someone can take this one for me, please?

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

The six of you who scored 3 points each will have to fight it out for the honour (?) of the next deal.  Mike S had a natural 3 and is highest in the rolling scores.
