Round 9: D E E P C R O S S

C1 buzzes on 10.33 seconds to say PROCESSED which is correct.
Score: 68–24 (max 76)

NOTE: Originally, David's offering of UNSCALES in round 5 was disallowed, but after the conundrum, Gyles spotted it in the dictionary, so his 8 points were reinstated, and since they decided that taking 5 points away from Ann's "low" score of 24 would be cruel, she kept her points, hence the final score is 68-24.
