syntheticaly is a word. sythetise is not however!

Hm...what word starts with synthetise?

I thought synthetise looked suspiciously like a word, so I looked it up. According to dictionary.com, synthetise is a word, it is the British spelling of synthetize, which is an alternative spelling of synthesize. So if we accept British spellings, Ring Wraith loses. If we don't, then I challenge Ring Wraith to provide a word he was going for.

Sythetiseur. I googled it, but I'm pretty sure it's a foreign word...
if sythetise is British, then it's foreign, right? 

I think Ring Wraith is disqualified...

I did too, but foreign words don't count.  In fact for a word to count it must be in the "Scrabble Dictionary", which synthetise is not.

I challenge Ring Wraith to provide a word he was going for.

Sythetiseur.

That word is also not in the Scrabble Dictionary (and is probably foreign), and therefore "the other Prof" wins the challenge.

This is correct.  Which means that we now start the next round with only 4 players left.  Prof A, Prof U, RCuz, and Sauce (in that order).  Since it was Prof A's turn when we finished, he gets to start the next round.

And since this is a car game, people should really play it without using Google or dictionaries to look up words (unless you think a person has finished a word).  We're supposed to be just using our heads here

we should create a seperate topic for this game.

This is also a good idea.  Prof A, why don't you start round 2 in a new thread.

aww, would I have been out if I had just lost normally? if not, I declare non-explanation of the rules!

I don't think there was really anything you could've done really except for challenging RCuz's word before you.  I think he was bluffing.  As for the non-explanation of rules, I apologize.  Just trying to remember all the rules off the top of my head was obviously not the best way to go.  Good news is that you're back in as soon as only 3 more people are out.
