- 11 Playing Football on a Football Team(???)
I know the syntax is mangled and that it would read better as 11 FP on a FT.
what are 18 and 26?
To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
18 - 1000 is how many words a picture is worth.
Thank you again for everybody’s help. Here are the answers I came up with. I’m still not quite happy with the answer to 26, but that’s the best I could come up with. (I notice Mojo came up with the same idea, so maybe it’s right after all.)
-
26 = L of the A
letters of the alphabet -
7 = W of the W
wonders of the world -
1001 = AN
arabian nights -
12 = S of the Z
signs of the zodiac -
54 = C in a D (with the J)
cards in a deck (with the jokers) -
9 = P in the SS
planets in the solar system -
88 = PK
piano keys -
13 = S of the AF
stripes of the american flag -
18 = H on a GC
holes on a golf course -
32 = DF at which WF
degress fahrenheit at which water freezes -
8 = S on a SS
sides on a stop sign -
3 = BM (SHTR)
blind mice, see how they run -
90 = D in a RA
degrees in a right angle -
4 = Q in a G
quarts in a gallon -
24 = H in a D
hours in a day -
1 = W on a U
wheel on a unicycle -
5 = D in a ZC
digits in a zip code -
1000 = W that a P is W
words that a picture is worth -
29 = D in F in a LY
days in february in a leap year -
64 = S on a CB
squares on a chess board -
40 = D and N of the GF
days and nights of the great flood -
101 = D
dalmatians -
80 = D to GA the W
days to go around the world -
200 = D for PG in M
dollars for passing go in Monopoly -
57 = HV
Heinz Varieties -
11 = PF on a FT
playing football on a football time -
2 = # it T to T
# it takes to tango

Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Change 26 to ‘players fielded on a football team’
I reckon it sounds a bit better.
Here’s a longer version of Jacques original, if anyone’s up for it I’ll post the answers in a day or two - or by demand.
Enjoy!

Chef, wasn’t that Ferris in Farris Beuler’s day off?
I got 22 of the original 27 instantly (within 15-20 minutes or so), but then realized that I fudged a bit on #8 saying “13 States of the American federation” which although not perfect is still somewhat correct. The five I didn’t get within that period of time were 7,11,12,16,26. Those were tough ones.
Nobody ever bit on this, so I’ll finally give the answer:
0=M.
(“Zero Mostel”) 
Holy Moly! It lives!
Thank you, dougie. I had been puzzling over that 0M for months.
