agree  Danik 2014: Obrigada, Vitor! "Scramble" me dá mais a ideia de um atropelamento, de um apuramento para consertar algo!Eu tive que "scramble" agora para responder a você sem usar o maligno "neutral". :))

  -> Muito obrigado pela dupla atenção, Danik! Sim, creio que a ideia é "acorrerem todos a algo mas de forma desastrada, atrapalhando-se uns aos outros.
