[Fictionary] Oops re Tweeny

[David Randall]

I forgot to add points for people who got the real definition! Which might make Eric the winner? We’ve already started a new game, but maybe reserve the next one for Eric? — or whoever is the winner, if I’ve got that math wrong too.

Apologies to all.

> 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.
