Ep 160: Richard Hartley, Rohan Long (August 19, 2016; originally aired March 11, 2011)

Rounds: Here.

Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.

Just the summary for now, as I'm still very behind.

First break: MICE FISH ("Bad behaviour from the head honcho")

The "head honcho" is the CHIEF of MISCHIEF.

They get a bit BLUBBERY.

I just barely pipped Richard to the solution of this one.

Richard: DELIVERED (2s)

STAGIER
ENCLOSE
(8+4)*(50-6+1)=540 (2 off, but went over)
BASTED
NIPPER
2*(75+50+8+6)-2=276 (slightly over)
BONNIER (grrr...)
6*(100+3)+50+5-4=669 (Lily's way)
x jumped in with the incorrect RELIEVED)
