This game is simple: Someone posts a puzzle made up of a number, and a phrase with only the initials of the main words that is associated with the number.
Ex: 12= M. in a Y. would be 12=months in a year.
Most of these should be a piece of cake, but some can be quite tricky. Try not to pick anything too obscure though. If someone gets a puzzle right, they should post the next one. Go ahead and exalt someone if they get yours right.
First puzzle: 26= L. of the A.

26 Letters of the Alphabet. I assume I wait for Ernie to say " YOU'RE RIGHT!" Before I post mind, right?

Usually it's easy to tell when you've got it, so you can just go ahead and post the next one.

7 continents on the earth
8= P. to a T. P. (Think retro and previous gen) (I should have made this clearer: all though the P's are the same, one p is plural) I might be giving it away if I said think series... you'll give yourself a face palm if I hint any further to a certain "Legendary" story line

acceptable (but I originally was looking for Triforce (it is one word, right?)) (edit: looking back now it should have been 8 shards to a Triforce peice... but that might have been slightly harder)

Post by Barrylocke on Jun 19, 2007 17:16:27 GMT -6
Actually I had thought of that earlier, but you hardly ever hear of the triforce being referred to by its separate pieces.
I'll think of one later.
EDIT: Got one
99=L.B. or 99=R.B. Either is acceptable.
