Game finale: Proverbs 14, Zulu cooking pot, final scores
After an 'Ew... more about ladies' preamble and a 'hello, ladies' work-meeting bit, 'The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down' is Solomon, Proverbs 14:1. 'In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people, a prince is ruined' is Solomon, Proverbs 14:28, with a Monty Python aside. 'Even the best cooking pot will not produce food' is secular Zulu (South Africa). Emma wins with roughly 500 points, Ethan close behind at 490, Dan at 350, and Boova in last at negative 200.
