Geoff - Saw you on the show again. Good win and could have been higher if not for the M and N mix up. I got TOWELING for one of the rounds and checked it, and see that it was ok. Interesting that Daniel was beaten but ended up in the finals with Sam. And the lady who beat him (can't think of her name) was unlucky coming up against you as she might have otherwise have lasted the distance.
And great game today. Loved those numbers solutions and great words as ever.
I don't like having to post my solutions after yours!
STOKED SHEET and NOBLEST just after 10*50=500 (1 off) MOOTED CARTED nothing in time and 950 was as close as I got. Well done you. AROUSING 6*75-100-4*2=342 FRUMPIEST (24s but slow in reacting)
Yeah, the N/M thing was disappointing -- I spotted NUMERALS as soon as the mixup was pointed out to me. That left me struggling for safety, so I pulled the trigger on Karla with the numbers choices.
At the time I was not aware of the Macquarie's acceptance of American spellings; I don't recall if I spotted TOWELING, but I would not have chanced it.
Thanks for the congratulations on round 6 today -- I'm afraid that it's one of those things that you'll know if you study the four large mix (that 937.5 can be made from the four large numbers alone), and otherwise it's very difficult indeed.

8. 342 = 2*(100 + 75 - 4)
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is FRUMPIEST]
