2 Apterites go at it
1st Numbers game, target 660, 2-away was the best:
100 / 25 = 4; 4 x 2 x (75+1) = 608; 608 + 50 = 658
DEMISTER for an alt 8 in R13

I thought she would as I learnt that term in A-level maths (it's what Newton called Calculus). Maybe I'm just really old?Johnny Canuck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 5:19 pm "Rachel will know all about FLUXION" - I doubt that, as it is listed as a "dated" mathematical term.

2nd Numbers game alternative (Rachel said she could only find one way):
(10 x 4) + 1 = 41; 41 + 25 = 66; 6 + 1 = 7; 7 x 66 = 462
(10 x 4) + 1 = 41; 41 + 25 = 66; 6 + 1 = 7; 7 x 66 = 462

3rd numbers Alt: (100+1) x 3 = 303; (50+1) x 2 = 102; 303+102=405 Lots of valid homonyms in today's episode: STARES vs STAIRS PEAKING vs PEEKING BALMIEST vs BARMIEST Not sure even the subtitler knew which variant to put at times! Good letters games from Naz, but he really needs to work on his numbers!

She should really stick to doing the numbers.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 11:50 pm I thought Rachel's reasoning for allowing DOUGHS was a bit dubious and made up on the spot. It is valid on Apterous though anyway. But what in the definition makes it valid?

Oops I think I was a bit too aggressive with the fast forward! Seemed to have missed that.

(7+4) x 8 = 88; 88 x 10 = 880; 880 + 75 = 955
75 10 4 1 7 8 955
