Seen this on another forum, and thought it was quite good;

Each Statement below contains the initials of words that will make it correct. Find the missing words. (This puzzle is a mental challenge - not measuring itelligence, but creativity and flexibility. Do not expect to complete it all in one sitting; some answers will come to you at unexpected moments.)

Example: 12 = M in a Y (12 months in a year)

1. 26 = L of the A
2. 7 = W of the W
3. 1001 = AN
4. 12 = S of the Z
5. 54 = C in a D (with the J)
6. 9 = P in the SS
7. 88 = PK
8. 13 = S on the AF
9. 32 = DF at which WF
10. 18 = H on a GC
11. 90 = D in a RA
12. 200 = D for PG in M
13. 8 = S on a SS
14. 3 = BM (SHTR)
15. 4 = Q in a G
16. 24 = H in a D
17. 1 = W on a U
18. 5 = D in a ZC
19. 57 = HV
20. 11 = P on a FT
21. 1000 = W that a P is W
22. 29 = D in F in a LY
23. 64 = S on a C

Solved answers:
1. Letters of the Alphabet
2. Wonders of the World
3.
4. Signs of the Zodiac
5. Cards in a Deck (With the Jokers)
6. Planets in the solar system
7. Piano Keys
8. Stripes on the American Flag
9. Degrees Farenheit at which Water Freezes
10. Holes on a Golf Course
11. Degrees in a Right Angle
12. Dollars for Passing Go in Monopoly
13. Digits in a Zip Code
14. Blind Mice (See How They Run)
15. Quarts in a Gallon
16. Hours in a Day
17. Wheel on a Unicycle
18.
19. Heinz Varieties (How the hell did you get that!??)
20. Players on a Football Team
21. Words is that a Picture is Worth
22. Days in February in a Leap Year
23. Squares on a Chessboard

Please don't answer with obviously wrong answers trying to be funny; if you don't know it, try a different one.
Also, if someone else has already answered it correctly, don't post the same one please.

Good luck, :D
