I meant to add that I went over time in that last numbers game.

Oh, PAGINATED, wonderful! I missed the sixes in round two, also -- well done to both of you. On the plus side, I recalled that the valid anagram of MALTIEST is SMALTITE, a type of mineral.
Welcome back, Geoff.
I know I've picked MALTIEST a couple of times. Now if I can only remember SMALTITE (whatever that is!) And well done on the full Monty Sam.
