31 was a guess, but I am surprised 33 is wrong. It is a well-known sailors' song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Man%27s_Chest).

ohh I'm sorry, I just double checked.
It's only 31 that's incorrect  ;D

You got 33.

So 31 is the only one still needing solving... Can I add one?

34. 2 F M in a C M makes a B M

31 would be 6 Balls to an Over in Cricket...

34 is presumably something like 2 Full Moons in a Calendar Month makes a Blue Moon, but I'm guessing at that one

Post by Azgard on Mar 9th, 2009, 3:21pm
That would be a good guess!
