Some words of wisdom from Robert Merrill: "when in doubt, sing loud."

2. Add letters on either side of SIN to refer to an operation made up of the sale and purchase of goods and/or services.

buSINness

3. Add 3 letters to the beginning of SIN to make a relation that describes the child of one's parents' sibling.

Answer: cousin

couSIN

If you were ever curious as to what "second cousin, once removed" means, I'll try my best to explain: "cousin" obviously refers to the child of one's aunt or uncle, and thus someone who has the same grandparents as you; a "second cousin" is someone who has the same great-grandparents as you, but not the same grandparents; and so on. "Removed" indicates a difference in generation. Thus your "second cousin, once removed" is someone who has the same great-grandparents as you, and is a generation older or younger than you. Phew!

4. Add 5 letters to the end of SIN to make a word that suggests that something is threatening and ominous.

Answer: sinister

SINister

Creepy, ominous, threatening - "sinister" is usually used to refer to a not-so-savoury character. It can, however, be used for a topic as arbitrary as the weather! For example, "the sinister looking clouds indicated the arrival of a thunderstorm."

5. Add letters on either side of SIN to refer to what happens when an object is broken into fragments or components.

Answer: disintegration

diSINtegration

A good fertiliser will fully disintegrate when mixed with water, making it an ideal medium in which plants can grow.

6. Add 5 letters to the beginning of SIN to create a word that refers to a soft leather shoe, originally worn by Native Americans.

Answer: moccasin

moccaSIN

A quote from one of my favourite childhood books, 'Walk Two Moons' by Sharon Creech, goes as follows: "do not judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins." Very true!

7. Add 3 letters to the end of SIN to refer to something that is individual, or solitary.

Answer: single

SINgle

"Ooooonnneee is the loneliest number you'll ever dooooo!"

Nah. Single to mingle, I say.

8. Add letters on either side of SIN to refer to a manner or style of cooking, often associated with culture.

Answer: cuisine

cuiSINe

Pizza, pasta, gelato - Italian cuisine wins hands down! Anyone who says otherwise will answer to me. :P

9. Add 3 letters to the beginning of SIN to refer to a dried grape.

Answer: raisin

raiSIN

Apparently, gin-soaked raisins can help ease the pain of arthritis. Bring it!
