The truth will out. Or something.

Well, much to my disgust, lots and lots of people guessed the true
definition--twelve points' worth. So much for my devious mind. Anyway,
Jean-Joseph and Fran have tied for first with six points apiece. Flip a
coin?
(Incidentally, it's possible I've misremembered scoring of correct
guesses--as will be obvious, I've given two points to those who gave the
right definition two points, and one for one. If it's supposed to be
one point regardless, my apologies, but it doesn't appear to affect who
the outcome.)
