Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m eleven or seven, but naught in between;
I’m the best grade of meat; or a rib cut cuisine;
I’m the minister chosen to lead for the Queen;
I’m a rate used by banks; or Meridian mean.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by K-Lyn. See comments for answer.

    Prime!!

    Many ways you could go with this one:

    I’m marking the feet on the height of a teen;
    I’m that film where Uma and Meryl are seen;
    I’m the time of Deion, plays made on turf green;
    I’m a stronger robot than, say, Optimus Lean.

    Yours is better, but that’s 10 different uses of the word.

    PRIME is correct. Way to go, K-Lyn!

    Neel, this was a particularly flexible word, and I enjoyed working with it this morning. I do think mine is better, but I also had first pick of the uses and the rhyme, so that’s very impressive. Maybe you should start posting riddles!

    I didn’t even know there was a movie. I think I’d have gone with “screen” on that one.

  4. Neel Mehta Says:

    “Screen” would have made more sense. Really, the only line of mine I like is the one about Optimus Lean.

    Maybe you should start posting riddles!

    I’m not saying I will, but if I did, I might use people rather than words to differentiate myself. Even then, I doubt I could make it a weekly feature.
