Blog puzzle #3
Insect conversion.
Start with the word "bee". We will now transform the sequence of letters until "bee" becomes "ant". Here's how: during each turn, you can either insert a letter to the growing sequence, you can change a letter, or you can remove a letter. Each turn must create an English word. Using this process, can you convert "bee" to "ant"? The person who does it in the fewest number of turns by noon on Friday wins.

Credit (or lack thereof) on this should go to jake folkeringa.
He looked on www.dictionary.com and it says "bant" is an english word.
Therefore he had
bee
beet
bent
bant
ant
which is five, if "bant" counts. Which it may or may not. I'm just posting for him so he doesn't miss a chance. Your call mark.
