A Diverting Puzzle →[More:]My dad came home from work with a Xeroxlore version of this puzzle in the 80s. It provided days' worth of distraction as we struggled the get the few final stubborn ones. I share it after being inspired by the J A S O N thread, today. And sometimes we just need a fun word game up in here.

Each item is a phrase containing a number. All words excepting articles and prepositions have been shortened to initials. The challenge: complete the phrases by filling in the incomplete words.

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

1. 10 C in the B =
2. 4 S on a S =
3. 32 P on a C B =
4. 10 P B =
5. 3 B M ( S H T R) =
6. 3 S on a T =
7. 39 B on the O T =
8. 88 K on a P K =
9. 5 G R =
10. 100 D (B P of W) =
11. 16 O in a P =
12. 6 W of H T E =
13. 8 T on an O =
14. 15 P in a R T =
15. 2 T D =
16. 60 is the H T with 1 D =
17. 7 C of the W =
18. 1 O G E 4 Y =
19. 208-214 B in the H B =
20. 2 M a P =
21. 6 S of a C =
22. 8 B in a B =
23. 15 M on a D M C =
24. 191 U N M S =
25. 2 D in a W =
26. 168 H in a W =
27. 7 D S =
28. 9 P in the S S =
29. 17 is a P N =
30. 52 W K on a P K =
31. 8 P of the C =
32. 8 F in a M =
33. 4 H of the A =
34. 1024 B in a K =
35. 64 S on a C B =
36. 27 B in the N T =
37. 5 T on a F =
38. 100 C in a E =
39. 13 S on the U S F =
40. 6 B to an O in C =
41. 23 P of C in the H B =
42. 12 L of H =

*disclaimer: I haven't done this puzzle in 20 years; I went to find it on the net and haven't double-checked the answers yet. So I might not know the answers and I can't vouch that all the questions are up to date. Or fair. Or anything. Heve fun!
