The first way I saw:
(100/2-10-7)*8=264

The second way:
100*2+10*7-6=264

...
I saw your (very simple) second way in a couple of seconds and I'm no maths whizz - Rachel must have spotted it

Does she deliberately miss easy solutions for some reason?

Seriously good player, so astonishing that he fluffed the very easy last numbers round

I also got LIMIEST to beat him in one of the letters rounds

Small victories...

Re: How do I know if my word is valid?

The other day I had UNPOSTED as an answer

Not valid according to that checker yet recently it has been allowed as an answer and DC has quoted it as valid

Confused...

Re: How do I know if my word is valid?

OK - I accept this is the definitive dictionary to use but it's just about the only dictionary that won't accept IMAGOES

Oh well...
