BORNESITE in R5

Standard method was 25×75/(4-1)+9+1=635. 25×25+10 basically.

Got a bit bored and decided to do something different by looking at the recap but covering up the maxes so that I can't see them.

[Adam Dexter]

Standard method was 25×75/(4-1)+9+1=635. 25×25+10 basically.

Unfortunately, the 7 seems to have turned into a 1 in your working.

Think you mean:

25 x 75/(7-4) +9+1

[Gavin Chipper]

Good spot.

[Philip Wilson]

So bored with all the 2L picks recently, I was delighted to solve R6 as 9 x 7 x 3 + 3 = 192. Didn't need either of them, manic laughter!
Slightly ironic that the outgoing champion got the 3L spot on!
