Riddle my word
Decapitate me and all becomes equal. Then truncate me and I become second. Cut me front and back and I become two less than I started.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
Once again, the answer is 7. Or rather "seven".
