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.
