LEADED
FLAIR
4*(50+7)-4-1=223
APLOMB
BANGERS
(10+3)*(50+2/2)=663
HEROIN (wasted time wondering if it could be pluralised with a S, then saw HEROICS just after time)
9*(4+4)*(6+3/3)=502 (2 off)
SKEWERING (39s)

My general policy would be to allow HEROINS, although INSHORE might be safer. :) APLOMB is a lovely spot in round 4. Nice numberwork from you tonight, too!

1. DELEGATED
2. FLAIR
3. 223 = 4*(50 + 7) - 4 - 1
4. MULATTO
5. HANGERS (found HORNBAGS after time)
6. 663 = (50 + 2/2)*(10 + 3)
7. CORNIER
8. 501 = 4*9*(3*6 - 4) - 3 [1 off]
9. SKEWERING (3.4s)

There's only two solutions to round 8, although the first of them looks a bit like the mix was made for it: 502 = 3*3*6*9 + 4*4. The other is a minor variation of that: 502 = (3*6*9 + 4)*3 + 4.
