As far as I can see, the only mistake is that my spreadsheet had inserted Nancy's Filipino egg roll def in place of Debbie's "A daft, merry bit of nonsense — pure tomfoolery."  All the scores appear to be correct, so there's no real change, but please point out to me if you spot any other errors.

Now to work out how it happened!
