Default [Dixonary] Round 3068: Vote for IDDY-UMPTY

While my spreadsheet had enough room for many more, it seems that we are left with a dozen player submissions plus the dictionary, giving 13 options for your IDDY-UMPTY vote.Â* You all know the drill.Â* Don’t look it up, vote for two, deadline in about 32 ¾ hours at 8am Tuesday PST (11am EST, 1500 UTC, 4pmÂ* BST, 5pm CEST, and Wednesday 1am AEST and 3am NZST).



1.Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* a game of darts in which the numbers 1-20 must be thrown in order three times: first anywhere in the sector, then between the double ring and the triple ring, and finally between the triple ring and the outer bullseye.



2.Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* A version of the children’s game hide-and-seek, in which seekers finding the hider have to join them in the hiding place.
