<Why look here? There's STILL nothing here!>
Thanx to everyone who told me what 'F' (39 J.B.A.) was. 'Seems
like I was the only one who didn't get it judging by the responses I got!
Same thanx to those who pointed out my typo in my 'T':
"T. A. the W. in 89 D." should've been:
"T. A. the W. in 80 D.".
I've fired my proofreader.
Now I'll leave a little space so you NOTES readers won't see the answers yet...

The winning entry was submitted by Peter Gayde (ihnp4!{iwu1b,ihuxp}!gayde).
who got them ALL right. In addition to getting them ALL correct, he pointed
out the errors I made: 'Q'- THE, not A Fountain; 'S'- the word "Different"
does NOT belong, I think my mind threw it in for better syncopation;
'T'- (See above).
The coup de grace is that he got BOTH of the answers to 'P', and was the
FIRST response that I received!
Good work Peter. For your prize, you get to think up (and post) some more!
And to anyone who got stuck because of the curve I threw on 'S', I've just
fired my EDITOR, too! :->
