Brain Teaser: "200 D for P G in M"
Andy Bruce
A couple days ago at work I was given a series of 15 puzzles.
The format was you would be given, for instance, "26 L of the A" and
had to figure out that it stood for "26 letters of the alphabet."
I got twelve of the remaining fourteen and someone else told
me a thirteenth, but I can't figure out the last one and the person
who gave it to me doesn't have the answers.
The one I can't get is "200 D for P G in M."
Anyone who can give me the answer to this will have my
gratitude. Please reply by e-mail.
And here are the remaining 13 for you to wrap you brains
around:
7 W of the A W
12 S of the Z
H H + M H at 12 = N or M
3 F = 1 Y
A 4 L C means G L
100 Y = 1 C
9 P in the S
13 S on the A F
18 H on a G C
1 H on a U
90 D in a R A
88 P K
11 P on a F T
Enjoy.

I think your're right here. Either an S was dropped, or the originator
didn't realize that "solar system" is two words.

It is 13 STRIPES, the current U.S. flag has 50 stars, one for each =
state.
The 13 stripes are for the original 13 colonies.

Actually, 13 stars seems a bit light on an (assumed) modern day
flag.....
How about 13 _stripes_ on the American flag? :)
