Round 4: N A F D O M S Q A

I had FANDOMS written down, but thought it would be a bit too niche for the Macquarie.  It does have it, though.  Oh, well.

Woohoo, second full monty in the game!

My selection: LIBERATOR


Round 8: Target 178 from 50 6 8 1 1 2

BATTER
PACKERS
10*7*(4+3)+1=491 (another rat pack in time!)
FANDOMS
NIECES
2*(50+75+6)+4-1=165
TRAILER
(6-2)*(50-8-1-1)=176 (2 off)
x only got FUEL TREAD

Had another go at the conundrum later and saw DEFAULTER

Nice work to solve the ratpack, Mike! And also on FANDOMS, which is the best word in that mix.

Thanks Geoff for the feedback on the last two games and well done on the full monties in both.

Good word-finding again, Geoff.

1. ENTREAT. Nearly went with the invalid BATTENER.
2. PACKAGERS
3. 491 = (4+3)*7*10 + 1
4. FANDOMS. Otherwise, couldn't beat a five.
5. SILENCE/CLEANSE
6. 165 = (50+4+1)*6/2
7. TRAILER
8. 178 = (50 + (6-1)*8 - 1)*2
9. DEFAULTER - 7.3s
