Round 3573 ORTINIQUE Results

[Tim Lodge]

Using the same logic as Paul did in the last round, I thought ORTANIQUE might do well, as it looked like a made-up word. However, Shani Naylor and Debbie Embler saw through my bluff, and guessed that the real def was number 6, the cross between an orange and a tangerine.  Shani also got four votes for her gilding technique, making her the new dealer with 6 points. Debbie Embler also guessed the real def, putting her in the lucky runner-up position, along with Nancy Shepherdson and Efrem Mallach who got three votes each.

Over to you, Shani!
