Rnd 3618 ZAMBURAK (or zanburak); Results

[John Barrs]

Everyone who submitted a def has now voted so I am terminating the round.

 

The dictionary answer is #4 the machine gun camels and 4 people voted for it giving me a D4

 

Two people ended up with a score of 5 but one involved a correct guess so the out right winner ans next dealer is Eric B with Glen as the ‘real winnah’

 

Over to you Eric

I have Hugo voting for 1 & 8 (2026-01-29 22h48 UTC) which are the votes shown against his name in the voted column of the results table. But in the votes from column Hugo is instead shown as voting for 1 & 7, and those votes are what are used for the vote total column.

Bringing the two columns into line would reduce Tim Lodge's score to 2 and puts Judy's up to 5.
