Here are the defs. Each pair of defs is treated like one def in the usual
rules. Please vote for two pairs of defs, one with one point and one with
two. If your defs are voted for, you will receive points. If you vote for the
right defs, you will receive points. If you vote for your own def, you will
lose points. Deadline is in one week.
