You know what to do

EMULATE for a DC beater, round 8 i think

2nd numbers alt: 7+(10/5)=9, 9X50=450+(6X3)

RARENESS as an equaller.

Last numbers out of time:

(25+5-1-1)x(9+8) = 476.

Oh and the first numbers game was the worst one in the world. The challenger couldn't do it and the champion genuinely had to find 3 by doing 6-3. Odd!

Last numbers game, alternative answer. 25 x 9 = 225 + 8 + 5 = 238 x (1 + 1)

Another alternative for last numbers (found in time )
(25+9)x(8+5+1)=476

There was LOVEHEART in Round 3. Not really a word, obviously, but kinda cool.

Also you have LOVE HATE in that round. I forgot the grammatical terminology for two contrasting words but its also kinda cool I think

OXYMORON Love that word. Although I cant think of that many common examples: Bittersweet, Living dead. Anyone think of any more?

I believe that is called an oxymoron.

Military intelligence.

Microsoft Works.

These are old, I'm sure more original examples can be found.

Loving Hate.- Classic Shakespeare

Er, that's not really an oxymoron. That's just two words which are opposites.

It is an oxymoron really. In context, the "loving" is an adjective. Obviously there's nothing contradictory about loving hate, but there is something contradictory about hating in a loving way.

Sorry mate, "loving hate" (in the context you describe) certainly is an oxymoron. My post was in reference to the original question put by Jason (and subsequent answers). This wasn't at all clear because I didn't quote anything, and I apologise for that.

Oh, fair enough.

My favourite oxymorons, which form a contrasting pair, are AWFULLY PRETTY, and PRETTY AWFUL.
