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.

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.

“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.
