The answer is a wave.Monday May 10th: There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter.

Answer was: 1. Startling, 2. Starting, 3. Staring, 4. String, 5. Sting, 6. Sing, 7. Sin, 8. In, 9. ITuesday May 11th: Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and over charge the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the friends who had just checked in The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them: so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????? COMPLETE
