BARYTONE is also in my dead-tree Chambers' and Collins' dictionaries as an alternative spelling of BARITONE
Presumably can be pluralised for 9.

Easier 4th numbers: (50 + 7) x 5 = 285

Possible blooper in TREMOLO round.

Rachel put up the letters TREMELO.

Gavin Chipper wrote:Last numbers - 50×(25-7+1)-8-4=938.

Also while I'm here I beat DC with PEONAGE in a round somewhere.

Knew 938 was 134 x 7, and wasted some time, but then found :

((25+1) x 4) + 7 = 111; 111 x 8 = 888; 888 + 50 = 938

Alt Numbers 2:

((75 + 50 - 2) x 8 ) - 1

Surprised that Daniel lost his nerve, but he's on for his third century in 5 games.

Success - he got his century, but after a couple of dodgy rounds !

another round 10 beater:

((100 + 2) / 3) x (25 + (8/8))

Mark Kudlowski

1st numbers alt without the 100:

((6 x 5) - 7) x (7 + 4)

Used the fact that 253 has a factor of 11 by summing alternate digits and noticing no difference.

Round 10: (25x2) = 50+(8/4) = 52 x 10 = 520 - 7 = 513

I tend to only post 'difficult' alternatives, or perhaps more elegant ones using fewer numbers.

Far simpler 2nd numbers which each contestant missed

In Chambers' and Collins' dictionaries, it states 'usually plural' but the word nevertheless appears in singular form.

Just to add to Mark's post, the x isn't him offering his affection in the form of (several!) kisses, but in fact is a symbol meaning 'multiply'. It's a bit like a short-hand for lots of addition, rather than writing out (say) 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, you can instead just write 3 x 5. lol ! Further to my ...

I fear the day when 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 happens. I estimate that if 6 small numbers were chosen once per game, this would happen about once every 150 years on average. The number of different combinations of 6 numbers from 20 is given by 20 ! / (14 ! x 6 !) or 38,760. Combination 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 is o...

To each their own, but, sorry, I HATE Jo Brand with a vehemence. Did she post a numbers alt before you? No, it's nothing to do with numerical / verbal abilities. It's because she's a smug Leftist b***h with an eminently punchable face. And I don't find her joke 'nine-letter words' funny. There was ...
