Rnd 3660 CARROMANCY Results

[John Barrs]

To instruct you to “Divine Divinations” was more than I could avoid. The actual definition (#4) was one of the varieties for ceromancy which is divination using wax but there are many ways of looking at shapes made by wax as it cools and I chose one which is not really descriptive enough but… I was glad to see that not all the offerings related to divination and the winner, Judy, had provided a non divination definition and is the next dealer, Two other people, Dan and Eric are the real winnahs

 

Over to you Judy

Hi Johnny 

Your table shows Judy, Dan & Efrem voting for my def (#2), plus I picked the correct def, taking my score to 5. I haven't looked at anyone else's scores, so there may be other corrections.

Sorry Judy, I'm wrong. I didn't vote for the correct def after all - although I had intended to. So the deal is all yours!!

I've never had a back-to-back win before and never wanted one! I hope I can arrive at a new word shortly.
