Title: Annoying puzzle time
Post by: hotel21 on 18 February 2011, 22:28:05
You know those church fete/local football club charity fundraising sheet things you get sometimes with puzzles that equate to numbers.

For example:-

D in a W  = 7 (days in a week)
S on a F P P = 7 (sides on a 50 pence piece)
W on a T = 3 (wheels on a trike)
H of the A = 4 (horsemen of the apocalypse)

and similar.

Currently stuck on a couple.  Should be single numbers (i.e. 1 - 9, including zero).  Anyone?

P in a P
F in the G
E to ES

edit - F in the G most likely Fingers in the Glove (Either 4 or 5, if you say that a thumb is not technically a finger, I suppose...)  Just got it as typing...   :)

Thought that too, but really looking for 0 - 9 as a result, not 100....   :y

Thanks for the cigar it's the first one in my 39 years on the planet!

Nobody is stupid when it comes to these type of questions it's just a bit of lateral thinking that not everybody is in tune with.Some of the ones I have looked at in the past gave me a glazed over expression followed by frustration when I found out the answer.
