Neat puzzle. When I first saw it I thought HUH? But then I calmly went throught it, and it was actually rather easy.

Are any of these numerals Roman?

Finally got it. I was trying to convert too much after "words".

[11] Thanks! Might also want to read one of the arrows as "contains".

Why just throw away the letters you don't use?

[9] [10] Thanks, I was getting nowhere without that salt. I'm still not sure how I was supposed to figure out to do that, though. I don't see any information in the puzzle that would lead me to think one numeral transformation was supposed to be different than the other. Not my night for the puzzles.

[14] I agree - that doesn't sit well with me either.

[15] It might have been better if they had said "NUMBERS" and then "NUMERALS".

[17] Absolutely. That would have been a great way to show that the steps were different _and_ hint at what to do.

[17] Indeed, but still a great puzzle. When something works out as coolly as this, I can't see why everyone doesn't rate it at least a 4.

[19] Yeah, for difficulty. I'll go as high as 3 for fun.

[17] I thought that would make it too obvious... and ruin the "aha".
There's always a balance to achieve, between giving enough information to guide the solvers in the right direction, and leaving enough information out to make for a nice "aha" moment when they figure it out. Too much information, the puzzle becomes boring and just an exercise in following directions; not enough information, the puzzle becomes frustrating and not enjoyable for people to solve. And the right middle ground is often different from person to person, and from puzzle to puzzle.

That was pretty cool. 102nd on the next morning---I should have looked at it earlier!

Nice. Although I originally dead-ended on the incorrect "vies".
