SEGUEING

REPERTORY (25s)

You were right to avoid BREACHER (I chanced it, sadly). SEGUEING is a brilliant spot, but the Macquarie thinks it is spelled SEGUING -- apologies. Very well done on getting the conundrum!

1. MARINATE
2. ADULT (best: KULTUR)
3. 462 = (10 + 5/5)*6*7
4. [invalid -- BREACHER]
5. PESETA (best: METOPES)
6. 522 = 5*(100 + 1) + 7 + 10
7. GENIUS (after time: EUGENICS)
8. 217 = (9*(8 + 1) - 50)*7
9. [N/A -- chosen, but the answer is REPERTORY]
