Round 4: UNDERHEAD

[Joseph Bolas]

1st Numbers Alternative: (75 x (10 / 5)) - (6 - 1)

Round 4: UNDERHEAD

I know you can have OVERHEAD, but I don't think you could have UNDERHEAD.

Round 4: UNDERHEAD

That's not a word.

[Joseph Bolas]

TRIPLED as an equaller

[Martin Gardner]

Second number alternatives :

5 + 8 = 13
6 + 2 + 1 = 9
9 * 13 = 117
117 + 50 = 167

According to every dictionary in the world, even the 6 that OneLook gives me?

Sorry smjg, but according to the ODE, you can only have UNDERHAND or UNDERHUNG.

Hiyo,

R14 alternative, seemed the more natural way to go.

(25-4) x ( 7 x 2 + 1 )


R5 in a novelty way...

( 75 x 10 ) / 5 = 150 - 6 + 1

The corner was certainly on top form today.

Another alternative
(6+1)50/2-8=175

[Matthew Green]

Did they get SEMITONAL? Is it a word?

Nope sorry. I believe there are a total of 7 8-letter words you can have:

AILMENTS, AMNIOTES, LAMINOSE, LOAMIEST, MANLIEST, SEMOLINA, TOENAILS

[Howard Somerset]

I rather liked round 13, when Carol announced the first two letters with a seemingly deliberate "S and M".

It made my concentration lapse a little, with the result that round 13 was the only round in this game in which I was beaten by both of the contestants.
