0 to 10 Pyramid IV
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Starting with a one-letter word, add a letter and rearrange the letters to produce the next word. A clue is given for each.
Maybe your car can do 0 to 60 in 10 seconds, but can you do 0 to 10 in 60 seconds? Get out the stopwatch! This one is a little easier than the previous ones ...
The hint gives the starting letters of the even numbered words.
1. Roman one
2. Ratio of 'circumference : diameter' for circles
3. Edible homonym of #2
4. Long poem or film about heroic deeds
5. 'There's a _____ on his head' (a reward)
6. Give the main points of a story
7. Contents of Cordon Bleu book

| Sure I've never been first!
I got 1--5 plus 7 on my own, 6 & 8 with the hints; couldn't get 9 or 10 at all. Thanks! |

| You're right that this one's easier than previous teasers, which made it very enjoyable for me as opposed to just frustrating. These aren't my forte, but I had a good time with this one. Thanks. |

| I love these but didn't do very well; started out ok but used "piece" instead of "price" [on his head]. Got "recipes" but it was pretty sloppy after that.
Thanks anyway!!  |

| Got 'em all, but didn't find this puzzle particularly easy after RECEIPTS (kept wanting to make the next word SCARIEST, though it had the same number of letters as RECEIPTS), and certainly not after CREEPIEST. Kudos to all who thought this was an absolute piece of cake. |

| Nicely done! Things got messy when I got stuck on "Precis," quickly solved "Recipes", and then spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how one gets from "Price" to "Recipes." I just found a new word to add to my vocabulary lessons!  |
