Highly astute comment.

I did not. The difference is that we don't know who voted for which definition.

BTW, how will we know who wins? I guess we'll have to trust people (that's refreshing!).

It's amazing how many were erudite enough to know what the actual definition (no. 9) was. The authors of the others were:
1 & 2 Arnie
3 & 4 Geoff
5 & 6 Kalleh
7 Tom
8, 9, 10 & 11 Proofreader

Mine was a complete, unadulterated guess - and I did not look at the voting results first. Without "outing" someone, I'd love to know who guessed my #6.

Who's next? We haven't played this game in awhile, and it is fun! Thanks, Proof, for starting it again.

In fact, my daffys were 2 and 3.
