We had a solid contest with 39 voters and 35 clues. Thanks to Arjun Mukerjee for hosting this week..

Here’s Arjun’s summary of the results..

In Third place with 24 points is Satyen Nabar with ‘The girl’s exercising to become thinner’
In Second place with 31 points is Manish Jhaveri with ‘What the guy on a diet wants to get: the girl perhaps’
In First place with 37 points is Nate Cardin with ‘Flying? That fear’s occasionally not as serious’

Congratulations, Nate!

Thank you all for participating and voting. And thank you Ananth Srinivasan and Sowmya Ramkumar for helping me host this.
Some people self-voted, which is against the spirit of the game. These votes have been cancelled, and I urge everyone to not self-vote in the future.
Cheers!
