There were also a couple of scientific terms among the eights in the first round: AMNIOTES and MORAINES. Amniotes are any organisms that form an amnion during development, so all present-day reptiles, birds, and mammals of any kind are AMNIOTES. MORAINES are deposits of rocks, pebbles, and sediment left by retreating glaciers and tracking terminal moraines is how we know the extent to which glaciation occurred during the last ice age. I'm certain that I've heard of a GLACÉD pastry. This is one instance of the dictionary not keeping pace with usage. It's too bad on Deanne, who has now had two words disallowed. In addition to GLAZED, which I also spotted, and CUDGEL, there's FEUDAL for six. "DIOPTRES should be familiar to Richard Whiteley, at least, because he's wearing something measured in those units on his nose," RIPOSTED Nullifidian. RIPOSTED is also there for eight. And for seven, there was the legal terminology OBITERS, which is short for obiter dicta. Obiter dicta is a statement either from the bench or in a legal decision that is not pertinent the legal rationale of the decision, and therefore has no weight in law. I had an alternative for the numbers round: 100 - 6 - 2 = 92 92 x 5 = 460 10 / 10 = 1 460 + 1 = 461
