GLIMMER BOAST 10*(75+4)-(100+50/25)=784 (2 off) ROLLED SITTER (7-1)*100+9+9=618 (1 off) PHONE 10*2*50-75/25=997 (1 off) SEXTUPLET (14s- a conundrum at last in time although a bit slow in pushing the button)
There were two solutions to round 3, both very hard to spot: 782 = (100 + 4)*75/10 + 50/25 and 782 = (50 - 4)*(10 + (100 + 75)/25). And there's only one solution to round 8: 996 = (50 - 10)*(25 + 2) - 75 - 9.
