Puzzling Puzzles

Puzzling Puzzles
 
I am so confused with these puzzles! Can anyone solve them? It's not homework. It's just for fun. :) I want to see if anyone is very good at puzzles, because I'm not.

MIXAGRAMS
Each line contains a 5-letter word and a 4-letter word that have been mixed together (the order of the letters in each word has not been changed). Unmix the two words on each line and write them in the spaces provided. When you're done, find a two-word answer to the clud by reading down the letter columns in the answers.

CLUE: They're in a lather

B E L S O N U S E = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
S H E L L P O U N = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
G U R A I V D E A = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _
S L Y O R S U P E = _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _




NINE FLOORS
Determine who lives on which floor by these clues: Susan lives 1 floor below Pam. Pat lives 3 floors below John. Tim lives 4 floors below Ted. Jill lives 5 floors below Dave. Peter lives 6 floors below Pam. Assume that every person lives on a different floor.

Floor 9 __________
8 _____________
7 _____________
6 _____________
5 _____________
4 _____________
3 ______________
2 _____________
1 ______________

WORD WIT
A certain 6-letter word might be defined as "zealous supporter". If the word's second letter (an O) is changed to an I (as in "India"), it becomes a new word that might be defined as "zealous protester". What are the two words?

_ O _ _ _ _ and _ I _ _ _ _

WORD WIT
The past tense of most English verbs ends in the letter ED. What common four-letter verb, whose last letter is D but whose third letter is not E, is spelled the same way in its present tense and past tense?

_ _ _ D

I don't believe solve them, because I don't know much words in English, then if you put the puzzles in Spanish, I believe help you in your fun, good, it suffice with I telling you, I have a headache, because I don't find anything in your puzzles, I'm sorry.

Jessica December 22, 2008 05:31 PM

I don't know how to translate them into Spanish, sorry :P I'm sorry that you have a headache.
Tienes dolor de cabeza. Lo siento

CrOtALiTo December 22, 2008 05:39 PM

Don't worry, I have took a pill.

Jessica December 22, 2008 05:41 PM

Okay that's good :)
Don't worry, I took some headache medicine/a pill. <<<Correction :)
or
....I ate a pill. <<<:lol: that sounds really odd :P

CrOtALiTo December 22, 2008 05:48 PM

Why I need write some in my sentence?

Jessica December 22, 2008 05:49 PM

I don't know, I just thought that "I have took a pill" didn't make sense. oh well

CrOtALiTo December 22, 2008 05:54 PM

What, you after, I have to write the sentence so, I have some headache an pills.

Jessica December 22, 2008 07:16 PM

okay everyone, the first puzzle is solved, you don't need to solve it. If you want to challenge yourself, figure it out and then check the answers :)

I finally got the first one too (without looking at bmarquis' answer). :)

The last one is spelled the same but pronounced differently, and is:
