I think 15 is supposed to be "76 T in the B P".


#2 of 18 by gelinas on Fri Mar 30 19:52:36 2001:

No, it's an L:  "110 C R B".


#3 of 18 by jerome on Fri Mar 30 21:10:03 2001:

Re#1, Yeah, that's what I figured.

I think I have all of them but 16,22,24,25,27,30, and 32.


#4 of 18 by orinoco on Fri Mar 30 21:31:52 2001:

Check the lyrics.  The L looks right to me.  


#5 of 18 by scott on Fri Mar 30 23:07:52 2001:

Yup.

#1 still has me stumped, and I've only gotten as far as #10.


#6 of 18 by sno on Fri Mar 30 23:54:17 2001:

Isn't this a repeat?  I'm sure an old agora has most of the
answers.



#7 of 18 by mcnally on Sat Mar 31 01:10:56 2001:

  The list has mutated a bit, but the puzzle format and most of the entries
  are familiar..


#8 of 18 by gelinas on Sat Mar 31 02:42:53 2001:

I've gotten all but 5, 7, 13, 18, 22, 24, 26, 29, 31, and 32.  I _think_
I've gotten 30, and 8 isn't true any more.  And now I've forgotten 33.


#9 of 18 by aruba on Sat Mar 31 04:27:27 2001:

Oops, you guys are right about #15.  I wasn't thinking.


#10 of 18 by blaise on Tue Apr 17 16:35:31 2001:

Well, I've gotten all but 8, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29, and 31.  #30
is arguable; I would prefer 8=W N in an O.


#11 of 18 by blaise on Wed Apr 18 15:43:18 2001:

item 16 is wrong; it should be 24 = K in S G.


#12 of 18 by albaugh on Sun Jun 3 05:06:26 2001:

Are the answers going to become available somewhere?  Maybe after all this
time, people can just post what they've come up with so far...


#13 of 18 by blaise on Sun Jun 3 05:21:57 2001:

The answers are available online; do a web search for "C in S G" and you'll
find them.

Well, Grex's net connection is down and I'm dialed in and this has been up
a long time, so I'll type in my guesses:

1) 24 Bottles in a Case
2) 12 Signs of the Zodiac
3) 9 Planets in the Solar System
4) 360 Degrees in a Circle
6) 4 Quarts in a Gallon
7) 1 Wheel on a Unicycle
9) 57 Heinz Varieties
12) 29 Days in February in a Leap Year

19) 66 Books of the Bible (in the King James Version)
20) 9 Judges of the Supreme Court

Anyone care to extend this item further, and make it trickier still, by not
including the number itself?  For instance, try these:

?=T L N
???=P of F


#17 of 18 by blaise on Thu Jun 7 19:58:19 2001:

1=The Loneliest Number
