hint: including 1 in H

That's not a H. It's just a normal S

[a*]

anyway, you should get this thread moving now

[/dev/joe]

[lexprod]

Oops!

[/dev/joe]

Here we go again with a recap:

A13: 154 S S (#18 is A K A S I C T T A S D?) (Suspence)

B17: 4000 H in B, L (lexprod)

C10: 166 K M O the P in the S S (Suspence)

D14: 792 P for an A(R) FFF(tm) O (L'lanmal)

E12a: 8 H of V in R's book (including 1 in H, which another guest says is not a H, it's just a normal S) (a*)

[Scurra]

It's amazing how looking at one afresh can inspire you...

B17: 4000 Holes in Blackburn, Lancashire... (Enough to Fill the Albert Hall!)

B18: 9,000,000 B in B (T a F)

E12a I thought I had it but there only appears to be 7 even including the 1 in H.

[Scurra]

Is C10

166 Known Moons Of the Planets in the Solar System?

edit: oh, wait, the O might be Orbiting?

Sorry!

It *should* be 7. I wonder who can help me to correct it?
(One way that I thought of: would anyone edit a previous post to point out the question? Thanks...)

[Zag]

Whatever. Let's just move on.

E13. 12 S of J (also C I)

[Suspence]

Scurra, feel free to take over C. Orbiting was intended.

Yeah, I have to say that Wikipedia has killed several of my ideas when you can look up a specific number and find the answer already staring at you...

I guess that some of A is (#18 is Also Known As...) but I can't figure any more of it out.

C 5 B in the P (G, E, L, N, and D)

For some reason D14 seems like a video game reference, like P is Points and/or O is Online.

Scurra, did you ever give a category for B18? My guess is lyric or fiction, cause when are there exactly 9million of anything Though (T a F) seems to refer to two varieties of B, like "Tangy and Firery".

[L'lanmal]

D14 is not a video game reference, (R) indicates a registered trademark, (tm) is (or was) trademark. Cleaning it up a bit:

D14: 792 possibilities for an A FFF O.

[L'lanmal]

A13:

154 Shakespearian Sonnets (#18 is also known as "Shall I compare thee to a a summer's day?", perhaps because that is the first line)

A14: I500 = "TGSIR"

[Scurra]

B18 is indeed a lyric, although your comment is amusing in the context of the answer

A14: Indianapolis 500 = "The Greatest Spectacle In Racing"

A15: 90,000,000,000,000 F (in the Q M by J C)

[Tony Gardner]

after a year or so of absence, good to see the GL is still up and running!

B18: 9 mln Bicycles in Beijing (That's a Fact) (lyrics by Katie Melua)

new one, not too difficult i'd say:

B19: 9/5 D of F in a D of C (ignoring the C of 32)

[lexprod]

Found out A15 with google, but holding out in case someone else actually knows it.

B19: is the D of C a Deck of Cards? I'm thrown by the 9/5 really, 9 fifths? 9 over five?

[Scurra]

B19: I thought it was something like 9/5 Degrees of Fahrenheit in a Degree of Centigrade, but the bit in parentheses didn't make sense.

Sure -- Ignoring the Constant of 32. The formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit is f = 9/5 c + 32

[Tony G*]

[Scurra]

How about

B20: 4 L P

(this one will be invalidated if no-one solves it relatively quickly...!)

Working at a news station helped me out with this one: 4 Living Presidents

B21: 81 C in a S D (20 is the M N of C W a S)

I have no idea on the solvability of this one, but it was something I learned tonight/this morning and felt the need to share.

[LordKinbote]

[Amb]

192 P in T T T N

[lexprod]

Wait I'm confused, let's recap.

A15: 90,000,000,000,000 F (in the Q M by J C) (/dev/joe)

B21: 81 C in a S D (20 is the M N of C W a S) (lexprod)

E14: 700 W and 300 C of S (Suspence)

Amb: 192 P in T T T N

[Amb]

Well for my one, it cannot be quoted

81 Cards in a Stacked Deck (20 is the magic number of Cards without a Suit)

[Quailman]

C11: 5 B in the P (G, E, L, N, and D) 5 Books in the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy)

C12 to follow...

[Scurra]

I thought E was the Biblical set I'm pretty sure that
E14 is 700 Wives and 300 Concubines of Solomon

[Stubby]

I am not going to read four or five pages to see what's been used.

C12: C has 10 P and 3 T

[lexprod]

E14: 700 W and 300 C of S (Suspence)

700 and 300 sound like a type of cultural history, like 700 wives and 300 concubines of Somebody
