This is pinned to the top of the “Mystery Anatomy” page, where it shall stay for easy reference.
MYSTERY ANATOMY RULES: 5 pts for correct, spot-on and FIRST right answer, 4 pts for very close or second, 3 pts for partly right or third in line with right answer, 2 pts for a good try, 1 pt consolation prize for just trying, or for a good joke!
Poetry rounds have special rules as described there, but the general rule is that cleverness gets more points.
If you post as “anonymous” name then it all goes into the same tomb of the unknown anatomist.
If you change your answer, you may lose ~1 pt if I feel frigidly cruel.
Answers posted via Twitter, Facebook, email or whatever do not count! No appeals. I am a frigid dictator.
