Nice - seems like there is another 8 there too, and an 8 I have never heard of as a beater in the RAPINE/UNFAIR round.

1st Numbers: I do so love 25 squared solutions! Alt 3rd numbers (100+3)x2+((75+50)/25)=211

Well played, Thomas, congrats on making the semi-final at least. Also congrats to Gavin for making the quarters.

Well played Thomas congrulations on making the semis.....................well done to Gavin for making the quarters

I'm surprised Susie didn't disallow Gavin's SEIZING in round 10 for not being in the selection. Arguably he meant CEASING but he pronounced it with a Z.

I think it just sounded like CEASING.
