Re: Spoilers for Wednesday, 5th of March
Carol's way to the 925 in round 5 was nice, but I had a nicer one, I think:
(7 x 6) + 8 = 50
5 x 4 = 20
50 x 20 = 1000
1000 - 75 = 925
You could even do (8 x 7) - 6 for the fifty if you were feeling a bit saucy.
PAYOUT is fine (I got that!), also CAUDEX (solver-assisted) in round 7.
