No USERNET in the Macquarie fifth, so just as well you were late to see it. Something has gone a bit awry with your round eight answer, by the way -- it evaluates to 355 as written, or 385 if you meant 7*(50 + 5).

1. TAMPONS
2. HASSIUM
3. 787 = 8*(100 - 1) - 5
4. [invalid -- MEDICATOR] I had the valid DEMOCRAT, and was tossing up between risking MEDICATOR or DECIMATOR. I jumped the wrong way -- DECIMATOR is valid.
5. ENURESIS (found RETINUES after time)
6. 675 = (50 + 5 - 6/6)*100/8
7. TERATOID (also IDOLATER)
8. 375 = 7*(50 + 3) + 4
9. [no answer, but it is EASTERNER]

Thanks Geoff. I meant it with the brackets but was still an error.

I have never heard of HASSIUM, ENURESIS and TERATOID and if I did, I doubt I would ever 'see' them in the jumbled letters. And that numbers solution to round 6 is mind blowing. Amazing game Geoff as usual.

Thanks, Mike! I learned ENURESIS and TERATOID during the course of this blog; sometimes the words stick! Round six started with 50*100/8 to get to 625, and then was happily adjustable. After time I managed to save a number with 675 = 6*6*(100 + 50)/8.
