Has anyone out there seen "acronym equations" such as: 9 = P. in the S. S. (9 planets in the solar system) If there is any interest in these puzzles, I am willing to collect them and post the complete list to the net. REPLY TO ME BY MAIL! I will post the list in about one or two weeks. Here's a few to keep you guessing until then... 31 = F. of I. C. (at B. R.) 32 = D. F. at which W. B. 3 = B. M. (S. H. T. R.) Jim McParland hou5e!jjm

sorry, but 32 is *not* D. F. at which W. B.
32 = D. F. at which W. F.
212 = D. F. at which W. B.mem (11/23/82)
c Strange how this net works. I posted a list of 25 of these 'acronym equations' to net.nlang about a week ago, and here today is a request for the list. answer... see net.nlang. Mark Mallett

Several people spotted my (intentional) mistake in my recent attempt to generate interest in acronym equations. However, only one person offerred any new equations.... and several flamed me for expressing my interest in these puzzles. Therefore, no further listing of these items will be posted by me.
