I wrote a quiz for a party and thought I would share it. This round is a "Chain Letters" round. The last letter of the first answer is the first letter of the second answer, the last letter of the second answer is the first letter of the third answer, and so on, and the last letter of the tenth answer is the first letter of the first answer. All the answers are taken from a list of the 10,000 most common English words.
1. Which anagram of the answer to question 6 means ‘travelling around’?
2. Which anagram of the answer to question 7 is a colour?
3. Which anagram of the answer to question 5 means ‘cheek’?
4. Which anagram of the answer to question 10 means ‘towards the sunrise’?
5. Which anagram of the answer to question 3 means ‘at no time’?
6. Which anagram of the answer to question 1 can mean ‘sending’ or ‘choosing a path’?
7. Which anagram of the answer to question 2 means ‘a category of creative work’?
8. Which anagram of the answer to question 9 means ‘an opposing force’?
9. Which anagram of the answer to question 8 is the name of a country?
10. Which anagram of the answer to question 4 means ‘closest in distance’?

I'm enjoying the maths Advent calendar from @mscroggs@mathstodon.xyz A nice puzzle every day https://www.mscroggs.co.uk/

There is also this one published by Technische Universität Berlin: https://www.mathekalender.de/wp/ It has interesting puzzles but some of them require a lot of time to solve!
