We had 36 clues and 42 voters although 2 contestants did not vote. Samit Kallianpur hosted this week and here’s his summary of the results…

Good morning everyone! Thanks to all, for participating in this contest – in setting clues, as well as voting! Thanks to Sowmya Ramkumar for co-ordinating the game! Although a couple of clues in the Top 10 have done surprising well, they had root issues since Sentient and Sentiment share a common root but voters seem to have overlooked this.

In 5th place, with 24 points, we have Saurabh Upadhyay, with his clue: “I am admitted by specialists after second opinion (9)”

In 4th place, with 27 points we have Amrita Majumdar with her clue: “Perhaps Einstein, bored by regular Math lost interest and perspective (9)”

The 3rd place, with 31 points, goes to Ganesh Raman for his clue: “Feeling of love leaving one smitten badly (9)”

In 2nd place with 33 points, we have Suyash Roongta: “Feeling conscious about my top (9)”

This week’s winner, with 39 points, is Satyen Nabar with his clue: “Feeling smitten, one nervously expresses love (9)”

Congratulations to all! Take it away Satyen Nabar!

Congrats Doc – Your clue is now in our HALL OF FAME.

Thanks Samit for the superb hosting and for a word with a lot of possibilities for clueing.
