No, the sign said: "Warning: pickpockets in this area." Ok, but I was on the right track. Yours seemed to be encouraging the behavior. Mine just warned it was happening. Here are two: Explain why this is a grammatically correct sentence: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. What do all these dates have in common? April 4, June 6, August 8, October 10 and December 12. And before you give the obvious answer, May 9, September 5, July 11 and November 7 also have the same thing in common with the other dates. And the last day of February. |

'Wolves' & the fruit puzzle is correct.  7. Part of a shoe - tongue is correct, though it could also be heel or soul/sole 6. Scholars - 'brains' could work, but the 'official' answer is more synonymous with 'students'. |

Take the given words, and by moving a single letter from one word to the other, make a pair of synonyms, or near synonyms. For example, given: Boast - Hip, move the 's' from 'Boast' to 'Hip' creating two synonyms: Boat - Ship.
1. Burn - Bead
2. Rid - Tripe
3. Grove - Rout
4. Charm - Rush
5. Cream - Sweep
6. Open - Cop
7. Cave - Curt
8. Cares - Pest
9. Salve - Savage
10. Whiled - Spurn

Begin with the word "SPARKLING" and take away one letter so as to leave a new word. Then take away another letter from the new word and leave a different word. Continue this, letter by letter, getting a new word every time until you finally leave one word containing only one letter. You must not disturb the order of the remaining letters after a removal.
