if you're bored, have a go at this:


There is a 7-letter word that has, as one of its definitions, a 6-letter word. Switch the positions of the third and sixth letters of the original word, making a new word. One of its definitions is now that same 6-letter word, except that it is now split into two words (for example, "inward" can be split into "in ward"). What are the two words and the two definitions?

Reserve - is a "backup"
Reverse- is to "back up"?

I knew you were good AB. but you are very very good. not too hard really, but tricky to get quickly.

OK. who can get this one.....

Consider the five numbers 1, 153, 370, 371 and 407. What unique property do these numbers share? (No other numbers have this property).
