Default [Dixonary] Round 3001 GRAINEUR Results

The votes were fairly evenly spread, with everyone who submitted a def
getting at least one vote. The new dealer is Judy Madnick with 5 votes for
her poet-musician, while Tim Bourne, Dave Cunningham, and Hugo Kornelis are
joint real winners with 3 points each. Hugo was the only player to guess
that a GRAINEUR is a producer of silkworm eggs, although our resident
polymath, John Barrs, deduced the meaning and was DQ.

Over to you, Judy!
