Balderdash EV Quiz

who woulda thunk-- Poker and Balderdash-- Peas in a Pod

(Ignore this part if you've played Balderdash) Balderdash is a game where people are given an uncommon word and asked to make up a definition for it. each round one person reads off all the choices for players to guess at the correct definition. the reader does not get to make up their own fake definition and can only score points if no one guesses correctly. points are scored thus

2 points-- guessing correctly
1 point -- for every person that guesses your definition
4 points-- for writing down the correct definition
3 points-- for being the reader and having no one guess the correct definiton for the round

**if you write out the correct definition, your answer is removed and you can't gain additional points for that round.

SITUATION
so in a 5-handed (shorthanded balderdash -HA!) game, the word is "rudyard". luckily you know that the correct definition is "a rude old woman". do you write down the correct definiiton or make up up one of your own? why?
