We've all seen a rebus like "midstuckdle" (stuck in the middle). The following clues are "revrebuseserse" (rebuses in reverse). That is, the clues below are answers to rebuses which all use the "in" construction. However, the original rebus from the clues below will actually form a word. For example, "Not old in actually existing" would be "renewal" (new in real). Can you solve the rest? 1. A short poem in scarlet 2. A room-dividing structure in a female pig. 3. A joining word in a close friend 4. A head of corn in grasping tightly 5. Nothing in what your eyes do 6. A wild beast's shelter in stinking decay  |

Yeah, they keep me locked up, but I guess I'm thankful, in short. I hand out the beatings, while my neighbors import and export. We make a good team, especially me as the muscle, But with two dozen guards, I'm glad we never tussle. But really, I got a lotta my own connections, Imports, exports, with thousands collectin'. But between us, there's really no competition, I call it harmonizin' cause we're on the same mission. No one is unnecessary, or, you know, too small, The guy upstairs is the boss of it all. He's also incarcerated, but for his good I bet it is, Business is good, so long as we get the messages. Question: Who's doing the talking, and who are the other players in this riddle? (there are a total of 28, minus the narrator's connections)   |

You're speaking from the heart! ❤️ Answer The parentheses are used to number the parts mentioned. The HEART (1) is the one doing the talking. He is thankful to be "locked up" or guarded by the "two dozen guards," the (24) ribs that normal humans have in 2 pairs. The ribs protect, and guard both the heart and the LUNGS. The LUNGS are the 'neighbors' (2) that have the job of "Importing" and "Exporting" Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. The heart is- literally speaking- the muscle, and 'hands out the beatings' (heart beats). Of course, the heart itself has many "connections" or veins, arteries, and capillaries that "import" and "export" that valuable fluid we call blood. None of these members' job is unnecessary, or small, and they never compete with each other because they have the one mission of keeping a person alive. And, last but not least, the "guy upstairs" who is "the boss of it all" is 'incarcerated' by-yes-the skull. He is none other than the BRAIN (1), which sends electrical messages to all the other members via nerves, which tell them what to do. Business is good so long as these messages are sent. If they aren't, nothing is moving, and....well, then you're DEAD. (28) |

Each clue below is for two words that differ by only one letter: The letter has been either added to the beginning or the end of the word - all the rest are in the same order. In the "hint" you will see the lengths of the words, in the proper order. For example "Writing on the wall of Noah's boat (3,4)" would result in "Ark Mark". Can you get the rest? 1. Complaint about a golf club part. 2. Insect being angry and vocal. 3. Angry buccaneer. 4. The second of the two dishes you mentioned. 5. Scrawny unidentified object.  |

I am a chemical symbol for an element. This element was discovered in 1824. I am a Spanish word without the accent. Reverse me so I become a form of a common verb. What symbol am I?  |
