I was in my Psychology class tonight and for extra points my professor had us do a whole list of these:

Example: 7=D. in a W. The answer is 7 Days in a Week.

1. 26 = L. in the A.

2. 8 = S. on a S.S.

3. 24 = H. in the D.

4. 7= W. of the W.

5. 60 = S. in a M.

6. 40 = D. and N. in the G.F.

7. 200 = D. when you P.G. in M.

8. 18 = H. on a G.C.

9. 52 = W. in a Y.

10. 13 = S. on the F.

11. 88 = P.K.

12. 32 = D.F. is when W.F.

13. 12 = S. in the Z.

14. 4 = C. in a Q.

15. 100 = Y. in a F.F.

PM me if you have the answers! It is more difficult then you think...at least it was for my class. Have fun!

Each line is a puzzle such as

Question: 7 = D. in a W.

Answer: 7 Days in a Week.

Question: 26= L. of the A.

Answer: 26 Letters in the Alphabet.

So, each is a phrase that has a number in it and it will always begin with that number. The "letter" is the first letter of each word. It can range from measurements to events or places.
