Score: 30–26 (max 38)
A very risky 7 from Toby that is disallowed by Susie...........however there is no Danger for Bernard as he scores with his 6 and reduces the arrears to 4 points in this rather tight contest............there was a few 7s and one of those was from DC with Gunnera which was my spot.
Round 6: 100, 2, 2, 7, 5, 1. Target: 496.

OT: OCCIPUT (7)
Score: 40–41 (max 55)

Round 8: M A S E D R A O L
Toby: ALARMED (7)
Bernard: DREAMS (6)
DC: ARMLOADS (8) EARLDOMS (8)
Score: 47–41 (max 63)

Round 9: 100, 75, 25, 50, 3, 9. Target: 648.
C1: 648. 9 × 75 − 25 − 100 ÷ 50 (10)
C2: 647.
Score: 57–41 (max 73)
Another fine solve from Mr Byfield that allows him to stretch his lead further...........but I found a simplified way involving the 9 times table
75-3=72
72*9=648
Teatime teaser: GROUCHES -> COUGHERS
Round 10: B E N I G L N E R

Round 15: A T R A M W R E K
C2 buzzes on 12.5 seconds to say WATERMARK which is correct.
Final Score: 92–86 (max 124)
Another great game and a good win for our champion Toby, our challenger Bernard gave Toby a run for his money but had the last laugh by solving the conundrum, join me again to see how Toby gets on in his next game in the meantime it is bye for now
