Starting with BALL, change one letter at a time until you have the word HEAD.

Each change leaves the other letters in their original places and must result in a proper word.

What is the minimum number of steps required to achieve this change?

(HINT: There is more than one way of completing this in 4 moves.)​

Question:

Jack tells Jill, "This isn't the $5 bill you left on the the table. I found it between pages 15 and 16 of Harry Potter."

Jill retorts, "You're lying and I can prove it." How did Jill know?​

 

[Mben]

Ummm ... because pages 15 and 16 are back to back on the same piece of paper?

 

[Sookie]

Ummm ... because pages 15 and 16 are back to back on the same piece of paper?

CORRECT! Harry Potter, like all other books, has odd-numbered pages on the right. Therefore, pages 15 and 16 are the front and back of a single page, and nothing could have been found between them.

Each of these words can be split in half, and two letters can be placed in the middle to create a new six letter word.

For example BEND can be split into BE and ND, YO can be placed in the middle to create BE + YO + ND = BEYOND.

The four added pairs of letters, in order, spell an 8-letter word - what is that word?

LEND
LIAR
THAT
COIN

Generous is the new word.
LE GE ND = Legend
LI NE AR = Linear
TH RO AT = Throat
CO US IN = Cousin
