Help with acronym-ish puzzles!?

[4EVRU2]

Okay, I'm admitting I have to resort to seeking help from others.
I'm doing this for-fun "intelligence test" for one of my courses on-line and it involves figuring out a bunch of acronym-type puzzles. Because it had one that involved American info. I'm seeking help from any American brainiacs out there (although others may help too!)

Here goes:

first an example: 9 L of a C ...... 9 lives of a cat
many of them have some type of time/measurement connection, but one was 13 S on the U S F which I figured out to be 13 stripes on the United States flag, so some are just "expressions" and the like as well.

15 M on a D M C ...... anyone figure this out?

1000 Y in a M......

9 P in S A.......

23 P of C in the HB.......

64 S on a C B......

There are more, but I'll start with these.... if anyone knows 'em, I'm closer to being scored a "genius"

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

1000 Y in a M = 1000 years in a millenium ?

 

[Liesje]

1000 years in a millenium

This is hard!

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

yes, this is tough!

so will we be considered partial genius's for helping you out?

 

[love_u2_adam]

i like the other ones better!!

15 M on a D M C ...... anyone figure this out?

1000 Y in a M......

9 P in S A.......

23 P of C in the HB.......

64 S on a C B......

1- Yo Ho Ho! And a bottle o' rum! (i'll let you figure it out )
2-1000 years in a milennium
3- ?
4- 23 Pairs of Chromosomes in the Human Body (i think)
5- 64 squareson a checker board

Hope that helps!

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

wow, catlhere =

errr... it's the closest thing to a "genius" smiley!

 

[Lila64]

can I cheat? I googled "15 M on a DMC"

 

[catlhere]

wow, catlhere =

errr... it's the closest thing to a "genius" smiley!

Nah I wish. I think I may have done things like this is my high school classes. We would get lots of these sheets. They're hard, but alot I remembered! HOORAY

<-is the next Einstein jk

Oooh, you're good! I tried #2 as exactly that and it didn't turn green--indicating it was correct (it stayed red)!
I KNEW #4 had something to do with the Human Body but couldn't figure out what P of C was!!
Great work on # 5!!
I'll be returning with more.....

 

[4EVRU2]

what the heck is the allusion to pirates?! 15 men on a ??? Still don't get it...
Aaaaarrrgh....


Sorry, but the checkerboard one didn't "check" out!! It was chess board ! Go figure...

 

[catlhere]

maybe its "chess board"
and the first one is 15 men on a dead man's chest

also if #2 isnt workin' i really dont know. maybe we're spelling something wrong?

 

[4EVRU2]

Okay got more...
#1) 66 B of the B ........ (music related?)
#2 ) 5 T on a F ....... Ha, ha ha, I JUST got this one.... 5 toes on a foot ...... sonofagun... so simple and it stumped me!
#3) 3 W on a T
#4)11 P in a F (S)T
#5) 8 T on an O..... (and it isn't 8 tentacles on an Octopus/i... i tried)
#6) 39 B of the O T

I've tried it several times and spelling is one thing I'm good at....
there's gotta be some trick to it....

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

#6 = 39 books of the Old Testament

lol@ being stumped on the toe one.

 

[Liesje]

#6) 39 books of the Old Testament

 

[Liesje]

mmmm, simul-posting!

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

[shaynar]

#3) 3 W on a T

3 wheels on a tricycle

that's my guess... looks right?

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

#1) 66 B of the B = 66 books of the bible?

4) 11 players on a soccer team, i think the F threw me off cuz i forget its claled football everywhere else. lol yay proud 2 b an american haha

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

#5) 8 T on an O: 8 tips on an octagon?

 

[shaynar]

#4)11 P in a F (S)T

this one is a guess:

11 players in a football (soccer) team

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

ah! #4 was tough with the parentheses. I wonder if all of these will pass with green lights.

 

[4EVRU2]

It's official--I've reached "genius" level (with a little help) and some of those were so friggin' easy but just threw me for a loop....
never woulda thought of the bible, and didn't know that stuff anyway!
Thanks for all the help, but since we've come this far... might as well finish it!

#1)6 B to an O in C
#2) 9 P in S A
#3) 13 L in a B D
#4) 3 BM (S H T R)
#5) 90 D in a R A
#6) 18 H on a G C
#7) 52 C in a P (W J)

and that's all she wrote..... actually because of your input, I was able to figure out a few on my own!!

 

[catlhere]

1- no clue
2- still no clue
3- 13 loaves in a bakers dozen
4- huh?
5- 90 degrees in a right angle* (easy one, u should have gotten it)
6- 18 holes on a golf course (this one too)
7- 52 cards in a deck? but i guess they want pack? (without jokers)'
