I knew that one because I avulsed my fingertip on a planer years ago.

I think I must have missed dendrite.

30325. Probably lots of good guesses from deduction. However, I did actually use the word salubrious at work the other day, haha. I don't get it...I usually only read non-fiction, but in high school I managed to score a perfect on the SAT verbal section.

I also got 30,150. Pretty common score.

I guessed at two or three; wrongly, it seems.

Aurel 07-14-2016 04:08 PM

22,500 top 5.83%

I am a little below some of the folks here, but I am curious about how they would score in french ;).
