Example: What number becomes even by subtracting one? Answer: S-even
- What number, by adding one, becomes a sound?
- What number, by adding one, becomes isolated?
- What number, by inserting one, becomes finely ground meal?
- What number, by subtracting one, becomes a vegetable growth?
- What number, by subtracting one, becomes a preposition?
- What number, by subtracting one, becomes an interjection used to express disapproval?
How many of these can you figure out? Will unmask answers probably on Wednesday.
What number, by adding one, becomes a sound?
T + one = Tone
What number, by adding one, becomes isolated?
eight + h = eighth
What number, by inserting one, becomes finely ground meal?
Four + L = Flour
What number, by subtracting one, becomes a vegetable growth?
Three – h = Tree
What number, by subtracting one, becomes a preposition?
one – e = on
What number, by subtracting one, becomes an interjection used to express disapproval?
one – o = ne
Again the language barrier, but that’s my try.
one tone
one lone
four flour
three tree
one on
five fie
SOUND: one + t = tone
ISOLATED: one + l = lone
also ten + e = teen
MEAL: one + p = pone
GROWTH: three – h = tree
PREP.: two – w = to
also four – u = for
INTERJ.: five – v = fie
I make it
t + one = tone
l + one = lone
l + four = flour
Three – h =Tree
Two – w = to (or four – u = for)
Five – v = fie
one -> tone
one -> lone
four -> flour
three -> tree
two -> to
five -> fie
(not sure about that last one)
one tone
one lone
four flour
three tree
two to
five fie
t + one = tone
l + one = lone
p + one = pone
three – h = tree
two – o = to
five – v = fie!
okay, i’m not so sure about that last one!
What number, by adding one, becomes isolated?
(L)one
What number, by inserting one, becomes finely ground meal?
F(l)our
What number, by subtracting one, becomes a preposition?
On(e) T(w)o
What number, by subtracting one, becomes an interjection used to express disapproval?
Fi(v)e
I couldn’t get the other 2.
T + ONE = TONE
L + ONE = LONE
F + L + OUR = FLOUR
????? T – H – REE = TREE?????
ON – E = ON
FI – V – E = FIE
What number, by subtracting one, becomes a vegetable growth? t(h)ree
What number, by subtracting one, becomes a preposition? fo(u)r
Interesting how 2 of you said pone, that’s something I never heard of until now!
Considering the language barrier, that’s impressive, Falwan!
Technically speaking (a) pone is a bread product made using cornmeal.

Thanks for the encouragement…
As for that puzzle I sent you…Your guess is dead right.
I think Suineg must have had some bad Pone, I haven’t seen him for quite some time
T + one = Tone
L+ one = Lone
Four + L = Flour
Three – h = Tree
Two – w – To
I don’t have a good guess for the last one problem
T-one
N-one
f-L-our
t(H)ree
t(W)o
fi(V)e
