Jean-Joseph awarded two points twice; I split the difference and      gave 1.5 to both his definitions. Thus Pierre wins by half a      point. If Jean-Joseph actually meant to only award 1 point to the      chicken, it's a tie with Eric's hardened exudate, and Eric and      Pierre go into a cage match.
    
    
Carlo Goldoni's Servant of Two Masters spends an entire      play elaborating on the concept of "tweeny."
