RE: [Dixonary] Digest for dixonary@googlegroups.com - 11 updates in 3 topics

Hugo Kornelis <hu...@perfact.info>: Dec 06 05:16PM +0100

Hi all,

One submitter has not voted, but the deadline has passed and I have a
few minutes available to quickly push out the results. So here goes.

The runaway winner of this round is Nancy Shepherdson. Her /fringed
shawl/ earned no less than 6 votes.
In second place, with 2 votes plus 2 points for being the only one to
guess the correect definition, we find Paul Keating, who
/escapes/ (sorry!) the deal

The real definition, from Colllins online, was number 11, the single
sandal. With two people knowing the word, the D1 score is less
impressive than it will look a few years from now in the historic scores.

Thanks all for playing, and good luck on your deal Nancy!

Cheers,
Hugo

Paul Keating <dixo...@boargules.com>: Dec 06 05:37PM +0100

I have not 3 but 4 votes for #12: Abell, Bourne, Shefler, Shepherdson. It appears that the one that went astray (Abell, 06 Dec 2025 04:59 UTC) ended up at #1 instead, which, by my reckoning, got no votes, not 1.

That's what Paul said, in essence. Tony Abell's votes for 10 and 12 were recorded as being for 10 and 1.

Hi all,

Still a few hours to go. But a quick heads up: I'm at a conference, and
I might not be able to post the results quickly after the deadline expires.
So if it takes a few hours ... don't despair!

Cheers,
Hugo

Hello everyone, and greetings from beautiful Slovenia!

Below, you will find a nice collection of eleven totally fake
definitions for CHAPPAL, doing their best to hide the real one that is
among them. Will you find the right one?

Please post a reply to this message to the group, indicating the two (2)
definitions that you fancy the most. Its originators will get points ...
or you will, if you zoomed in on the right one!
Make sure to do this before the deadline, which will be a bit over 24
hours after posting this message: December 6, 17:00 CET. Click here
<https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20251206T17&p0=16&msg=Voting+for+Dixonary+round+3603&font=slab&csz=1>for
a countdown.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Hugo
