    happy new year first of all. Every year one of the local shops runs this puzzle. Basically its a collection of phrases, sentences which you have to solve. Only prob is you only get the first letter of the words contained within

    eg.
    4 TMNT ( 4 teenage mutant ninja turtles )
    the 12 d of c ( the 12 days of christmas )

    Here are a few im stuck on, and would appreciate your ideas.

    50 L of W in a S
    21 A Y G K of the F D T
    12 A of the C N Y
    12000 M of W in a B
    3 G of T P T D
    4 L on a B and W S Z
    5th A is M S S in B A

    thanks again.

    trying to do the same puzzle
    what did you get for
    3= P in a HG

    I think all the others are right but not too sure about the 50 litres of wine in a Soverign as I can't find it any where else.

    This site and this says 50 litres of wine in a Sovereign

    This one says a US Sovereign is 50 litres.

    Is it an American quiz?

    http://www.marketingwine.com/pdfs/wineindustryoverview.pdf says that a champagne sovereign is 25 litres and that a US sovereign is 50 litres. Reckon it's the right answer.
