Number Puzzles

[dcfanjo]

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the '4 S of a Y' (4 seasons in a Year) puzzles and I know I posted a Word document of them 'over there' once before. Well at the weekend I came across some which I must admit I have never seen - see what you guys think, I think I've managed to get all but 1 of them.

Hi Scurra

I got all of those although for 3 HS of the Z I put Horned signs of the Zodiac

Giraffe, I put BGE as Brunels Great Eastern

Its great finding some less than usual ones - they are out of CAMRA's London Drinker!

[giraffe]

That's much better, I wasn't happy with that word.

[Bunnylump]

And there was me thinking it was Horoscope signs of the Zodiac!

Oh, and 1648 Brewers of Great Britain, maybe?

78 F is the L of a TC
78 feet is the length of a tennis court

40 MPT in each H of a RM
40 minutes playing time in each half of a rugby match

1926 MMB in LA Marilyn Monroe Born in Los Angeles

1648 must be* something to do with a Battle (or Birth) but I can't think of anyone with the right initials, so I'm inclined to think it's a Cromwellian thing. (Anyone know anything about Cromwell round here? ) Maybe a European battle I suppose - I'm hallucinating probably, but my subconscious is trying to say the G is German(y).

*the words "must be" are used figuratively!
