What does the word THENAR mean?
1. the process that is used to bond the noble gases with other compounds (Apollo's guess)
2. fleshy mass on the palm of the hand at the base of the thumb (Jaws's guess)
3. the palm of the hand or sole of the foot (the answer I was looking for)
4. a specialized cervical plexus in the human nervous system (Darsh's guess)
5. one of the Viking tribes that invaded Europe 1000 years ago (Sleepy's guess)
6. of, relating to, involving, or constituting the ball of the thumb or the intrinsic musculatre of the thumb (nodnarb's guess)
Darsh, Sleepy, and CT chose nodnarb's guess.
Baskil, dw and Apollo chose Jaws' guess.
Since two of the answers are technically correct (#2 and #6) since they came from the dictionary, this was a rather confusing Answer List since that meant there were 3 correct answers to choose from. Therefore I won't be giving additional points for people choosing other people's guesses. But you all chose the correct answer anyway so most everyone gets two points (except for our new players, CT and Baskil who get one since they joined in the middle and didn't provide a guess and dw because he didn't provide an initial guess either).
For the future, since most of these categories can be looked up using references, I'm going to need pretty exact matches to the answers I have in order to get credit. So above, since #2 and #6 aren't EXACTLY like #3, I'd include them as above but they wouldn't be considered the correct answer. So if you see your guess up there in the Answer List in the future you can assume I didn't think it was close enough to the answer to guess something else, not your guess again for the final answer.
