"Lance and I were out fishing six days ago when both our engine and radio broke down. We've been drifting out here ever since. Three days ago we ran out of water. Lance started to drink the sea water and went crazy. While going below deck, he fell down the ladder, hit his head and killed himself."

Shadow examined Lance's body and confirmed that he had indeed died from a blow to the head. Shadow turned to Shady and said, "Based on your account I believe Lance was murdered."

Why?

If Sid Shady were really dehydrated he wouldn't be sweating. They couldn't have run out of water.

In a word meld, you are given one word to try to change into another, one step at a time. Each step consists of changing one letter of the word into another while still having a true English word. For example, one step would be to change the word "PIE" to "PIT." Another step could change "PIT" to "POT," and so on.

What is the fewest number of steps in which you can change "LONE" to "WOLF"?

1. lone
2. gone
3. gond
4. gold
5. golf
6. wolf

Well, I can get it in 5 using obsolete words, but still no luck with 'common' words...

I think you're lying. If I can't do it, it can't be done. :)

I think you're right - I was lying.

Or at least, mistaken, as your PM demonstrated. ;)

3 pts for that one, meanwhile.

3 gold-pressed latinum points.

As Mochodkis advised me this weekend, the two 6-step answers for Question #224 are actually 7-steps.

I'm correcting the original, giving Machodkis a bonus point, and considering the possibility of just cancelling Question #224 altogether at this point.

Any opinions?
