Question:
Further proof that I have no life --
Below is a little "stumper" game, given to my math class by our instructor. Some of these are pretty simple while others, a bit more challenging. Curious to see how quickly these can be answered -- a few of 'em I can't figure out!! :rolleyes:

6) 18 H on a G C - 18 Holes on a Golf Course
7) 24 H in a D - 24 hours in a day
8) 8 S on a S S - 8 Seats on a Space Shuttle (that is a guess but I know the thing seats 8, plus its should be 8 seats on the shuddle not a shuddle :) )
9) 11 P on F T - 11 Players on a Football Team
10) 32 D F at which W F - 32 is the Temperature in Degrees Fahrenheit at which Water Freezes

24) 29 D in F (L Y) - 29 Days in February (Leap Year)
25) 76 T L the B P -
Have no Idea what 13 and 25 are, have work I need to get back too. :)
HOLY CRAPOLY!! :eek:
No idea on #13 -- that one got me, too.
I know #25, though ... but I ain't tellin' just yet ... :p
yeah 13 got me stumpted. if it was 64 S on a C B that is easy
that would be 64 - Squares on a Chess Board. but only cause my finaly paper in one of my classes was on Chess so I have it on the brain.
I can't think of anything 76 has, nor 44. niether are perfect squares and nothing common is jumping out at me. so I am really not going to get any work done, will just keep think of things those numbers those could be attached to.

44 seats on a chartered bus????
Just guessing.....
76 trombones led the big parade...
1 Attachment(s) ... 76 trombones led the big parade
Smarty pants, LOL!! :D ;)
Whoo hooo!
How about the "44 Seats on a Chartered Bus?" Is that one right?
BTW, look at the big brain on Fox! He got most of 'em.
1 Attachment(s) Don't know about that "44 S on a C B" one -- it's driving me cuckoo!!
I am bowing before the intellect of The Fox -- besides the above, I couldn't figure out "8 S on a S S" or "88 P K," either!!
44 seats sounds good to me. 11 rows 4 accross.
and if I am so smart someones going to have to explain
"76 trombones led the big parade"
is that on old saying? never heard it before.
and my answer to 8 S on a S S I am not very confident in, that was a guess.
88 P K I only knew cause I play the piano
-Fox
The "76 Trombones ... " is an old song from a musical, The Music Man, I believe?? (too many years in high school drama, LOL)
Hey, maybe "8 S on a S S" = 8 sides on a stop sign??
I am major impressed
