[Dixonary] 3083 GYSCUTUS results
Hi all!
Here are your results for round 3083 for the word GYASCUTUS, which describes a rather recent mythological creature with alleged roots in New England circa 1840. The gyascutus is notable for having one set of front & rear legs longer than the other, such that certain members of the species could only walk up or down a hill clockwise and others only counter-clockwise. I scored a D2;Johnny Barrs was DQ. Da Winnah is Tim Bourne, who received an natural 4 for a skin condition. "Real" winner honors go to Efrem Mallach, who also received a natural 4, but for a thick plate. In order to resolve the tie, I had to refer to their cumulative scores, which is a first for me. Now, for our tabulation: 1. Difficult to handle. — defined by Carson, who voted for 11 & 12, scoring a natural 1. Vote from Embler. 2. A dry scale that forms on corn and maize stalks, caused by the fungus Bipolaris maydis. — defined by Shefler, who voted for 9 & 12, scoring a natural 1. Vote from Shepherdson. 3. An extinct hominin known from fossil remains discovered in Java in 1891 thought to represent a species evolutionarily intermediate between humans and nonhuman apes. — defined by Madnick, who voted for 10 & 11, scoring a natural 0. No votes. 4. A genus of wood boring beetles whose larvae make spiral tunnels inside tree trunks. — defined by Barrs, who was DQ, scoring a natural 1. Vote from Lodge. 5. An illustrative, circular diagram. — defined by Embler, who voted for 1 & 14, scoring a natural 1. Vote from Widdis. 6. An imaginary large four-legged beast with legs on one side longer than on the other for walking on hillsides. — defined by Merriam-Webster, which cannot vote, scoring a D2. Votes from Naylor & Widdis. 7. An ox of southeast Asia (Gyas cutalis) sometimes considered a domesticated breed of the gaur. — defined by Widdis, who voted for 5 & 6, scoring an aberrant 2. No votes. 8. A rock formation consisting primarily of the fossilized remains of sea creatures. — defined by Shepherdson, who voted for 2 & 9, scoring a natural 0. No votes. 9.
