I initally thought R3 was going to be impossible until I realised I needed 14 x 70 for 980 to be near enough and voila...it was the closest anyone could get!

For R6, I only had 350...repeating numbers in all the rounds today...usually if there are two "10"s that would be enough to throw me off already unless the target is a nice one.

Alternative for R14 which uses both "10"s: ((25 - 10) x 10) + 3...and if you want all the numbers just multiply everything by 2 ÷ 2 for the sake of having some fun. :)

Just computed as well even if Mohsin had PRODUCER in R10, he would still have been beaten by Ed if that's some consolation for him...score would have went 79 - 82 in that case.

The recent champion-swapping is certainly helping out Philip's quarter final prospects. Nearly half the series gone now, and just 3 people ahead of him. :)

I was thinking exactly the same. I'm hoping for number 7 seed rather than 8 so he can still potentially meet Zarte in the final.

I saw it at the last moment so didn't have time to check it. 100-10-1 for the 89 and 10/2-1 for the 4.

Spoilerifically assuming Zarte doesn't end up #2 seed then? :-)

Yeah, I suppose it was a bit of an assumption. Not a spoiler though as I have no inside information!
