Great job as usual Geoff.
SORTIED
BEERS
x- (9-6)*75-10=215 1 away (went over time)
POTTIES
CHASED
8 away- won't even bother posting - grrr...
MANNA
(9-2)*100-75/25=697
x - jumped in with wrong and too short AMMONIA. Hadn't heard of word.
1. STORMED
2. BEIGES
3. 214 = 9*(100 - 75) - 10 + 7 - 6
4. TOASTIE
5. CHASED
6. 533 = (2 + 1)*(100 + 75) + 8
7. UNARM
8. 697 = 9*(75 + 2) + 4
9. X - also spotted AMMONIA
Oooh, I like SORTIED. I'll generally find STEROID instead from that mix, but wish I'd seen SORTIED.
Apologies a bit for the conundrum -- I realise it was a bit iffy.
1. MORTISED
2. GIBES
3. 214 = 9*(100 - 75) - 10 - 7 + 6
4. POTATOES
5. FACADES
6. 533 = (75+1)*8 - 100 + 25
7. HUMAN
8. 697 = 9*(75 + 2) + 4 or (9-2)*100 - 75/25
9. MONOMANIA - 9.5s. Great word, I do not accept Geoff's apology.
Round 3, I struggled seeing an easier way so eventually found 214 = (17*75+9)/6
