[Dixonary] Round 3641 POOLISH results

[Efrem Mallach]

Fellow Dixonaristi,

With everyone who submitted a definition (plus Tim Bourne) having voted, I can close this round before leaving for the Warsaw airport and have one less thing to worry about today. I appreciate everyone's cooperation in this.

The outcome of this round was largely determined by Paul Keating. At first, while thinking he knew the word, he submitted a definition (#2) that was close to the real one (#10, from BAKERpedia.com and other sources that our friend Google will gladly find). He then voted for both of them, not receiving a point for voting for his own def but starting a trend that continued for the rest of the round. Paul is the runaway winner with six points. Judy Madnick came in second with four. My D6, with five of them coming from 2-10 combo votes, is what it is.
