MOVING THIS INTO A NEW THREAD, SO AS TO LEAVE MOTCHING UNHIJACKED

-----------------------------------------------------

Subject: Department of Correction
Posted by wofahulicodoc (old hand)

Several years ago there was a spate of popularity for a game generally referred to as "Equation Analysis," the paradigm being "26 = L in the A" and the challenge being to expand the initials to make a more-or-less correct equation, thus: "26 = Letters in the Alphabet". Or "54 = C in a D (with the J)", expanding to "54 Cards in a Deck (with the Jokers)."

This led Sid McKeen, a Worcester columnist, and others, I'm sure to run a series of such contests from time to time, each a list of twenty-six examples, take-you-out-to-lunch for a prize.

He wisely took the precaution of including in the instructions for readers this bit of wisdom:
"The correct answers are what is written on a slip of paper
kept in the upper right-hand drawer of my desk"
or words to that effect.
And without taking any of the fun out of the exercise, I might add...

Oh yes, and he also invited readers to send in their own examples. Any takers?
Maybe a new thread? Is the name "Equation Analysis" copyrighted?

So, if I read you correctly 5280 = F in a M?

Precisely so. But things can get a little more obscure:

88 = P K

or

3 B M = S H T R

Let's see, now.

I know 8 S on a S S, but not yours.
I know 76 T that L the B P, but not yours
I know 206 B in the B, and also in a S, 'cause it's about the same thing.
I don't know 43 P of Anything yet. Have to think about that one.

I love these kinds of puzzles.

Interesting thing happened when I was solving a group of them amongst some netizens about 20 years ago. One of the problems was 4 = LC.

I thought the answer was obviously "Lowest Composite."

The psych major who initiated the thread of discussion gave me credit, but she pointed out that I was the only one among the respondents who didn't even think of the 'more obvious' answer.

Another thing: I was the only one who didn't get 76 = T in the BP.

OK, I give up - you're all too clever for me. I can only get less than half of those, where are you all going to put the answers?

How about:
1MPM = 60??? = 88FPS
3M in a B
4H of the A
4P of the C
12 on a J
12D of C
13 = BD
14S of the C
15M on a DMC
16T and WDYG
24 = HTT

For instructional purposes:

1MPM = 60??? = 88FPS translates as

1 Mile per Minute = 60 miles per hour = 88 feet per second

Your polyglot may be even more appropriate than you intended!

13 = B D ---> 13 = Baker's Dozen

One band on a very old humor record (The Hoffnung Interplanetary Music Festival) has a couple of ersatz German Professors talking about music.

Twelve-tone music.

By a fictitious composer named Bruno Heinz Jaja, who wrote only in pure twelve-tone. (That's pronounced "Ya-ya," in ersatz German.)

Never tempted, like some of the Franzoesiche Komponisten French composers, to write with thirteen tones.

No, said Jaja, that was the Baker's Dozen, the Nadia of Boulanger. (Nadir=lowest point, sounds like "nadia" in British-accented-fake-German); boulanger is French for baker; Nadia Boulanger was a French music teacher and conductor of some repute*. Triple pun; three languages, no less. Ha-ha. Or maybe that's Jaja, only in Spanish. Quadruple pun.

*"So far as musical pedagogy is concerned — and by extension of musical creation — Nadia Boulanger is the most influential person who ever lived". (from www.nadiaboulanger.org)


I guess you had to be there. The sketch is really quite funny, as is the whole record. It's Peter Shickele/PDQ Bach, British style. There were three such annual festivals, each recorded, and then Hoffnung (the Hirschfeld of his time and nation) died suddenly. R.I.P both of them.

Edit: The specific reference is to

"Bruno Heinz JAJA - Punkt Contrapunkt [9’04"]
Hoffnung Symphony Orchestra conducted by Norman Del Mar

The performance of this work is preceded by a discussion and analysis of it by Dr Klaus Domgraf-Fassbaender and Prof. von der Vogelweide."

43 P of A

43 presidents of America (Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th, so he gets two hits)-- suppose I should have shown it as:

43 P of US, but that would given it away immediately

1776 M of D

1776 miles of Danube

Here are some easy ones:

9 P of SS
12 P of CS
32 O in Q

Oh, I didn't say I agreed with the sentiment. That's the reason it's in yellow. Did you catch the source? Might the author perhaps be just a litt-ul bit biased?

Sometimes it seems like everybody who has composed the least ad jingle has studied under the Nadia.

Hoffnung (the Hirschfeld of his time and nation)Wofa

A truly funny and gifted man. His concerto for three vacuum cleaners and a floor polisher and the manner in which he read the ‘Barrel of Bricks’ piece at the Oxford Union in 1958 are great examples of the comic genius he brought to music and the spoken word. He was also a talented cartoonist.

If you would like to know more, at least of his musical work, try this url:

You're right, dxb - Hoffnung was the greatest. I can still hear his competition at the 3rd IF - Spot the Brandenburg. All of the Bach-buffs got out their pens and papers to take part - and he played a composite of the 6 concerti where each excerpt lasted for a maximum of 12 seconds. The whole piece lasted about four minutes, by which time the Bach-buffs had looked highly embarrassed, then were roaring with laughter, along with the rest of us.
Hoffnung was also a gifted cartoonist. What a man - what a loss.

But back to serious matters - I've managed about a quarter of the above, so see what you can do with these:

1 SDM a S
(alternatively, with regard to the next equation; 1 SDS a P)
8 P in a G
59 BSS(FG)
45 M per H in F
80 D to GR the W
160 HDS

I wish I could get the answers to these the way Wofa does. When I look at them my mind goes blank!

Wofa got most of my last offering, but tsuwm and wwh were right with 3 Men in a Boat.

24 = HTT is 24 hours to Tulsa
12 on a J is 12 on a jury (bit weak really)

WW goes in for one-upmanship by saying “Here are some easy ones”. Huh! 32 O in Q, yes OK, but the rest? No way José.

A few more 'simple' ones here (as WW would say!)

3 C in the F
7 C of the R
12 S of the Z
4 C of the E
101 Ds
1814 WTaLTAWCJDtheMM
86400 S = 1440 M = 1 D
103 E in the PT
50 S in the U

103 E in the PT

Is that one behind the times? I seem to recall at least 104 and 105, though they didn't have "approved" names.

(And as long as we're talking about humorous satire for the moment -

"These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered!"

You may be right Wofa, I did check several places, but still…

I like the Tom Lehrer couplet – hadn’t heard it before. Reminds me that I have always been baffled by the use of “Pahk the kah on Hahvahd Yahd” as an example of Bostonese. Having been there I do understand the underlying joke, but I have to conclude that I would pronounce the phrase in the same way as in the example. That leaves me wondering how else you could pronounce it? I must get one of my American colleagues to demonstrate.
