Round 3565 RAMNATRACK results

[Glenn Thomas Davis]

Congrats to Eric Boxer, who ran away with this one with his plaiting, followed closely by Tim Lodge's riverbed. 

For some reason, I suspected the real definition would get a lot of votes (D6). Indeed for a minute there I was afraid I would get an unprecedented D12! (Has anyone accomplished this? What is the highest D number in history, I wonder?)

Interestingly similar to Eric's plaiting, ramnatrack is ill-spun yarn, as in the phrase "how am I supposed to make a sweater with all this bloody ramnatrack?!" It comes from the venerable An Etymological Dictionary of the Shetland Dialect:

Good luck to Eric and thank you all for a fun round!

There was a D12 in Round 2582 (‘fagottist’). But that was a round with 19 voting players So it was about 67% guessable. There was a D11 in Round 3545 ('puchersome') that was nearly 85% guessable, because there were only 14 voting players. That was probably a record.

There's a table in the Round 3545 results thread.
