 7. The heddles of a loom. does not. This choice failed to fool 5 players, who voted it into top spot. Shani Naylor’s padded stocking:  5. A stuffed leather pad worn inside the leg of a boot. collected 5 votes, as did Efrem Mallach’s cosmetic:  2. A yellow arsenic sulfide crystalline mineral used in India as a depilatory, and known in the West as orpiment. but Shani was also one of the 5 perspicacious players who voted for 7 and so she takes the deal.  1. An auxiliary camshaft; an early engine which had a supplementary engine to drive the valves while the main engine provided the direct locomotive power.
