Re: Brain Teasers

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. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Re: Brain Teasers

Question 1

The one who makes it sells it.
The one who buys it doesn't use it.
The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
What is it? 

Question 2

I'm thinking of two inventions from long ago. One of them has thousands of moving parts. The other has one part, and it doesn't move.

They both do the same thing.

Are they still around? Of course.
Are they still in widespread use? Of course not.

What am I thinking of?
