A Beautiful Dinner

Q:


Consider this sentence:

The newlywed began to scurry around the kitchen, hoping to create a meal that her husband would really brag about to her in-laws.

Replace two words with synonyms without changing the meaning of the sentence.  These two words, phonetically, will name a famous movie actor.

Is There Anybody In Here?

Q:


As presidential candidates, think of a word that describes Barack Obama (be nice) and a word that describes Mitt Romney (be nice).  Take the first initial of each word.  Think of a synonym of the word reflections.  Take the synonym and the two initials and rearrange to name what will be seen this November.

This for That

Q:


Many words can be spelled by stringing together two US postal abbreviations -  co-ok, co-ho, me-al, or-ca,  etc.  There are also (though fewer) words spelled by stringing three together, as in va-nd-al.

Name an eight letter word that is spelled by stringing four US postal abbreviations together.

What The Heck Was That Guy's Name?

Q:


ROT 13 is a simple code where a letter is moved 13 places forward in the alphabet.  For example, A goes to N, B goes to O, etc.  For letters in the second half of the alphabet, move the letters 13 places earlier.  T goes to G, etc.  This should help:

A        B       C      D       E       F      G      H       I        J       K      L      M

N       O       P       Q       R      S      T       U      V      W      X      Y      Z

   

Think of a large island whose last letter is a ROT 13 of its first letter.  Remove the first and last letters and the result when ROT 13ed will name the general category of an endangered species there.

No Way!

Q:  


Think of a six letter word meaning "man".  Add an E and a W somewhere in the word  (without rearranging any letters) to name something the man might consume.

Swap an O and an R for the E and W.  Change the first letter to an S and rearrange the result to name something this particular man might wear.
