BTW, is it OK for one person to proffer more than once before scoring?

(the rules say that a person can try only once before the scoring
is done.)

Hmmm... I guess you can read the rules that way, though I hadn't in the
past. Is that what you intended, Rane? in other words, did I break the
rules by guessing twice in the last set?

sprice, I'm sorry but I can't process your proffering until someone else has
proffered first. You can re-proffer at that time...

The rules mean that you can guess again as soon as someone else has.
Hence, you can proffer two or more guesses before scoring occurs (but only
up to a total of five guesses from everyone guessing), but only if your
guesses are not consecutive.
