Here’s a fun way to kill a little bit of time today. These are all (mostly) well-known phrases or things that contain a number. See how many of them you can solve. The first one is done for you.
26 = L. of the A. – 26 Letters of the Alphabet
7 = W. of the W.
1,001 = A. N.
12 = S. of the Z.
52 = C. in a D.
9 = P. in the S. S.
88 = P. K.
13 = S. on the A. F.
32 = D. F. at which W. F.
18 = H. on a G. C.
90 = D. in a R. A.
200 = D. for P. G. in M.
3 = B. M. (S. H. T. R.)
8 = S. on a S. S.
4 = Q. in a G.
24 = H. in a D.
1 = W. on a U.
5 = D. in a Z. C.
57 = H. V.
11 = P. on a F. T.
29 = D. in F. in a L. Y.
64 = S. on a C. B.
40 = D. and N. of the G. F.
I reckon that all of you working together can come up with the answers. I’ll post them in an hour or so. This quiz was put together many years ago, long before Google (and Mental Floss), so please don’t cheat. It’s more fun when you don’t.
Here are the answers:
26 = L. of the A. – 26 Letters of the Alphabet
7 = W. of the W. – 7 Wonders of the World
1,001 = A. N. – 1,001 Arabian Nights
12 = S. of the Z. – 1
2 Signs of the Zodiac
52 = C. in a D. – 52 Cards in a Deck
9 = P. in the S. S. – 9 Planets in the Solar System
88 = P. K. – 88 Piano Keys
13 = S. on the A. F. – 13 Stripes on the American Flag
32 = D. F. at which W. F. – 32 Degrees at which Water Freezes
18 = H. on a G. C. – 18 Holes on a Golf Course
90 = D. in a R. A. - 90 Degrees in a Right Angle
200 = D. for P. G. in M. – 200 Dollars for Passing Go in Monopoly
3 = B. M. (S. H. T. R.) – 3 Blind Mice (See How They Run)
8 = S. on a S. S. – 8 Sides on a Stop Sign
4 = Q. in a G. – 4 Quarts in a Gallon
24 = H. in a D. – 24 Hours in a Day
1 = W. on a U. – 1 Wheel on a Unicycle
5 = D. in a Z. C. – 5 Digits in a Zip Code
57 = H. V. – 57 Heinz Varieties
11 = P. on a F. T. – 11 Players on a Football Team
29 = D. in F. in a L. Y. – 29 Days in a Leap Year
64 = S. on a C. B. – 64 Squares on a Chess Board
40 = D. and N. of the G. F. – 40 Days and Nights of the Great Flood

The answers definitely make you feel stupid for not coming up with them. It’s surprisingly difficult. Another little test that is surprisingly difficult is to list all 50 states without looking at a blank map.

Apparently, most people only get about half. When I reveal the answers, you’ll likely feel like giving yourself a head slap.

Welp, turns out I did need a mental map. I was able to do it without referencing any sources, but I had to work my way from coast to coast.
