It was close to being much better, but not quite there.<br /><br />1. ENTICES, INCITES; saw NICETIES about ten seconds after time ran out<br />2. THUMPED, MOUTHED<br />3. 430 = 6*(75 - 2 - 1) - 50/25<br />4. GASOLINES -- I was pretty sure this was this round after the first four letters<br />5. COWERED, DEFORCE<br />6. 993 = (2*3 + 4)*100 - 7<br />7. GUITAR; found GARUDA after time<br />8. 931 = ((9 + 4)*10 + 3)*7 [2 off]; a little after time 930 = (3*4*7 + 9)*10, but it took another twenty seconds or so to find 929 = 4*9*(3*10 - 4) - 7<br />9. SCAPEGOAT (2.5s); just pipped by Jacob -- I saw the answer as I paused the video after his buzz<br />Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.com
