The Falafel Quiz

I saw part of it, so in some cases I remember Falafel's preference. Here comes:
1. I don't know. After 7/5*, 3s to cover and hit are duped, if this were not the case, I'd be happy with 7/5, and now I don't know. I guess I'd go with 13/11 as that wins more, and we have cube access. Very uncertain.
2. 21/16*/10 is what I'd play playing quickly, but the more I think about it, the more I like 9/3. Let's go with my first instinct though. Very uncertain.
3. I think technically this is not a cube. From Phil's perspective, Phil's longer prime is offset by more checkers back, timing advantage is offset by being on roll. This looks like an initial cube, but not a recube. Clear take.
4. Toss-up between 8/2 8/6 and 8/2 6/4. I think having given the cube away argues for 8/2 6/4 and hope to put the game away one way or the other in an exchange of hits, without giving Phil the ability to use the cube effectively. Very uncertain.
5. I'd hit 6/3* 10/9. We have a stronger board and more checkers in the zone, and after 8/5 6/5 we leave 5, 7, 9 and anchoring 2s.
6. This one I remember. I thought 8/5*/4 near automatic, with 8/5* 6/5 second choice but a bit silly. 8/5* 7/6 looks quite wrong.
7. We were hoping to roll an ace, but missed. I'd play 24/18 9/6, because I want to get over the prime, not leave a bunch of shots, and we'll get the chance to attack next turn (or improve by diversifying attackers and using the spare on the 18 to seize outfield control). Meanwhile, Mochy is behind a 5-prime, and only 55 will escape cleanly. I know Falafel wanted to attack here, but I like keeping the options open.
