Some nice words from you tonight, Mike.

1. SHARPIE (after time: SERAPHIC)
2. FITNESS (after time: SNIFTERS)
3. 844 = 7*(5*25 - 1) - 3*8
4. EMBANKED
5. NITRATE
6. 968 = 8*(75 + 50 - 2 - 2) [1 off]
7. WAFERS (after time: FORESAW)
8. 926 = 3*(4 - 1)*(100 + 2) + 8
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is DISSUADED]

Round 6 is solvable, although the two solutions are hard -- essentially, one has to think of making the target as 7752/8. e.g., 969 = ((75 + 2)*100 + 50 + 2)/8.
