MATTERS
PIKERS
(10+9)*(25*2)+(10-8)=952 (1 off)
CAROTID
HUMAN
9*(75+3-1)+50/25=695
SCUBA (wondered about SCUBAS, and saw SCARABS after time)
10*(25+5+100/50)=320
DELIGHTED (34s - should have seen earlier)
1. STOREMAN
2. PORKIES
3. one off: 952 = 25*(10+9)*2 + 10-8
4. ROMANTIC
5. x MUNCHIE
6. 695 = 9*(75 + 50/25) + 3 - 1
7. SCARABS
8. 320 = 6*50 + 100/5
9. DELIGHTED - 11.7s. Was stuck thinking DEEDLIGHT for a few seconds.
Mike: I think SCUBAS would be valid in practice, although I'd be a little reluctant to risk it. SCARABS is excellent, even after time.
