In the last numbers game the 7 was derived from 5+2. Should have put that instead.

1. INFIRM (best: MISFIRE)
2. ARCADES (best: CUDBEARS)
3. 542 = 4*(100 + 25) + 50 - 8
4. PERSONA (also SPANNER)
5. TROIKA
6. 680 = 10*(50 + 10 + 9) - 6 - 4 [1 off]
7. CADDIS
8. 624 = 2*(9 - 5)*6*(10 + 3)
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is ANTIVENIN]

Round 6 is unsolvable, so one off is the best to be done.
