RIPTIDE as a beater in the PUTRID/TRIED round.

4th Numbers Alt.: (100 + 25 - 7 / 7) * (1 + 3)

Was nowhere near the 728 solution in the 2nd numbers (89% difficulty, and Mark's solution above is the only one that exists!), but I did get 727 as a beater via (75 * (2 + 3) + 1) * 2 - 25.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Rob mentioned at the start of the programme that he had done charity work in Uganda; it turns out he also wrote a book about it. Very admirable stuff.

This Bible verse sprung to mind many times during our Mission trip to Uganda because of the many power cuts we experienced
Can't have power cuts without some kind of mains so he did pretty well by comparison to like 99% of the country. I spent a month there and had no power at all until week three when I bought a solar panel off an Egyptian hat salesman in a straw boater, cargo shorts and a red sarong. 50000 shillings. Worth it for that sentence alone.
