I've got a note to mention the invalidity of TERAOHMS when I write this up; condolences on what was otherwise a nice find. Also well done with FIBROMAS, and I appreciate the explanation of CANTATE -- this popped up in the word search I did, but the closest match the Macquarie had was CANTATA.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-3969685405429410572013-07-24T17:00:05.018+10:002013-07-24T17:00:05.018+10:00WANTED (scared to try CANTATE, a name for the 98th...WANTED (scared to try CANTATE, a name for the 98th psalm)<br />INSULATE<br />775 (16x50 - 25)<br />GEEING, sadly no good<br />FIBROMAS<br />730 (7x104 + 50/25)<br />TERAOHMS (not mentioned so probably invalid)<br />372 (4 x 100-8)<br />1.7 secAndrew Fishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-61179973065339188612013-07-23T17:21:57.278+10:002013-07-23T17:21:57.278+10:00Nice way to 730, Sam.

GEEING doesn't get the nod, though -- the only (implicit) verb sense of GEE is as part of the phrase GEE (someone) UP.<br /><br />Also a nice 730 from you, Mike. And I agree, Victor, round 4 was much harder than it felt that it should be, particularly with -ING around!Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-64984685760229106052013-07-23T16:55:05.198+10:002013-07-23T16:55:05.198+10:001.
