Rnd 3095 The Results
Christopher Carson
At last the results are complied. I really have to automate this task one of these days. All errors, typos, and other screw-ups are solely the fault of the dealer for which he apologizes in advance.
The winner of round 3095 is Nancy Shepherdson, whose definition "the path around the ka’ha in Mecca, traversed by Muslim pilgrims during a hajj, corresponding to the path around God’s throne followed by the angels." earned a natural 5 .
Shani Naylor and Tim Bourne take coveted second place with 4 points. And there was 1 player in runner-up position with 3 points: Efrem G Mallach
The true definition was 3: "a coarse homespun cloth made in India." (AHD 5th), which Naylor and Bourne cleverly guessed.
