  3. 11 - Decimal point of extreme force (7) - {IN}{TENS}{E}

    I thought the anno was:
    Decimal = IN TEN
    Point = SE

  4. Bhavan,
    That saves us the trouble of getting an 'E' using extreme force!!

  5. 28 - Incite to fight a sailor! (3) - TAR Anno pending

    Possibly a DD or MD.

    Tar has these definitions in wordnik :

    + To incite; provoke; hound.
    + A sailor: so called from his tarred clothes, hands, etc. Also Jack Tar.

    Not sure where does the fight fit in.
