Well do...*grins* It was the appropriate reaction!<br /><br />Well done on finding DUALISM within time; it saves me from feeling worse about talking myself out of MULISH. *chuckles* And VALENTINE was a worthy spot, even if inaccurate.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-4812286805314685062012-01-13T18:03:34.395+11:002012-01-13T18:03:34.395+11:00Ha ha, you have it right about my reaction to the ...Ha ha, you have it right about my reaction to the four large numbers. My answers were quite similar to yours:<br /><br />DUALISM<br />CARBON<br />895 = 9*100 - 5<br />CLEANEST<br />UNFORCED<br />902 = (8 + 1)*100 + 2<br />HOMAGE<br />655 = 5*(75 + 50 + 9 - 3)<br />-<br /><br />DUALISM/DUALIST are on my useful word list, which was just as well, it was an awful mix, I had DISMAL for a while.<br /><br />The hard part tonight wasn't the eight-letter words, it was finding smaller ones in tough letter mixes.<br /><br />The Full Monty wasn't an obscure word, but they are very hard to see when the letters are so friendly - nothing jumps out at the brain, and there are too many possibilities to run through quickly.<br /><br />I think I got the conundrum about the same time as you, but I had paused at around 17s to guess VALENTINE.Sam Gaffneynoreply@blogger.com
