    The Things of a Thing Game

    Hey up,

    I thought we might have a new game, called The Things of a Thing Game. Sorry if this has been done before.

    Someone gives a clue like this

    52 W in a Y

    and everyone else has to figure out what the initials stand for. In this case it is 52 Weeks in a Year.


    Another example: 12 S of the Z

    which is 12 Signs of the Zodiac.


    They don't have to be scientific but try not to use anything too obscure or too regional. The winner of each puzzle can set the next puzzle.


    OK I'll start.

    88 K on a P

    Far too easy.

    All atoms of carbon contain 6 protons within its nucleus.


    13 C in a P of C.

    I do....... just that sheesh, I banged my head about five hundred times on the wall...... And I just could not solve the 13 C in a P of C. I thought of Cards, Carbon and I don't know how many other things and nothing.!


    Maybe a clue might help........

    I think you're very close. Maybe in American it would be 13 C in a D of C.
