heres something to test your brain...
 
I got this in an email recently.
The objective is to work out what the letters are. According to the email if you get 23 of these correct you are a genius. This was in an Excel spreadshett so I will have to copy and paste your answers to determine if you are right. (blasted thing is password protected so I can't cheat to find out the answers!)
Edit: oh and please be sure you spell the answers correctly...it will count it as wrong if spelled wrong (though one word in one answer i was able to work out was spelled wrong in the answer! oy....)

Example: 24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day

1. 26 L of the A
2. 7 D of the W
3. 7 W of the W
4. 12 S of the Z
5. 66 B of the B
6. 52 C in a P (WJs)
7. 13 S in the USF
8. 18 H on a G C
9. 39 B of the O T
10. 5 T on a F
11. 90 D in a R A
12. 3 B M (S H T R)
13. 32 is the T in D F at which W F
14. 15 P in a R T
15. 3 W on a T
16. 100 C in a R
17. 11 P in a F (S) T
18. 12 M in a Y
19. 13=UFS
20. 8 T on a O
21. 29 D in F in a L Y
22. 27 B in the N T
23. 365 D in a Y
24. 13 L in a B D
25. 52 W in a Y
26. 9 L of a C
27. 60 M in a H
28. 23 P of C in the H B
29. 64 S on a C B
30. 9 P in S A
31. 6 B to an O in C
32. 1000 Y in a M
33. 15 M on a D M C
