Here are some of the ones I have figured out:

k. 90 D. in a R. A. - 90 Degrees in a Right Angle

l. 200 D. for P. G. in M. - 200 Dollars for Passing Go in Monopoly

r. 5 D. in a Z. C. - 5 Days in a Zodiac Calendar

z. 15 M. on a D. M. C. - 15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest

I don't know yet about E. and F.

Shouldn't `y' be:

76 T. in the B. P.?

What about f, m, n, q, and s?? (Also E, and F??)

...
F as stated is a bit misleading.  It should be:
		39 is J.B.A.
or maybe "was" or "=" for "is", if you prefer; the answer reads better
that way.

	You don't know about 'r' either!  How about "5 Digits in a Zip Code"?
(No longer true I might add.  But what's a 'Zodiac Calendar'??)
	
>	Shouldn't `y' be:
>	76 T. in the B. P.?

	No. It's right.
y.   76 T. L. the B. P.?  ==  "76 Trombones *Lead* the Big Parade"
	But 'A' should be:	20,000 L. U. the S.
	NOT:			20,000 L. U. T. S.
	
>	What about f, m, n, q, and s?? (Also E, and F??)

	What about 'em?  Were all the answers ever posted?  I've gotten all
but 'F', but it was no fair.  I did almost all of them over a year ago when
'Games' magazine had most of these, and more.
	Here are some of my OWN, that I've yet to see in 'Games':

G.   14 D. in a F.
H.   9 L. a C. has
I.   30 D. hath S. . . .
J.   50 S. in the U.
K.   8 B. in a B.
L.   >1 W. to S. a C.
M.   12 I. in a F.
N.   50 W. to L.Y.L.
O.   98 P.W.
P.   16 O. in a P.
Q.   3 C. in a(the?) F.
R.   ~93,000,000 M. to the S.
S.   H.B.S.B. 12 D.W.
T.   A. the W. in 89 D.
U.   a T. of 2 C.
V.   the 12 D. of C.


	Now will someone please tell me what "39 J.B.A" (F) is?

djm@ariel.UUCP (D.MORGAN) (12/08/84)

I am looking for any phrase quizes that people own. By this I mean a phrase
consisting of letters and numbers. For example 52 C in a D would be 52 cards
in a deck. I would like the phrases and the answers. I am particularly
looking for a list put out by Larry Levine on August 11. Please mail any
replies. I will post a complete list of phrases to netnews if there is 
enough replies. 

				Thanks in advance,
				Tom Morgan ariel!djm
