Rd. 3052 -- Results for froe

[nancygoat]

A very lopsided round, although I feel comforted that only 3 perceptive players ferreted out the real definition of froe: the strangely-shaped ax. 

The real news is that two players tied with an unnatural 7: Tim Bourne with his eely dish and Steve Dixon with his "two fists."  Tim is ahead in the rolling scores, though, and so takes away the deal.  Congratulations to real winner Steve Dixon.

Time to greet the day on a cloudy Monday morning in the UK and take it away, Tim!
