It would be unfair for me to answer because we had these in high school over 35 years ago. I remember every one but enjoyed going over them again. Some are very tricky but great to ponder over.

By the way it's 7 wonders of the world. And thats one of the easy ones.

90 d in a ra is technical. Anyone who doesn't get this should not be here!

Good response! I wondered about changing that but left the puzzle in it's original form. Maybe the word hasn't gotten out to P yet?

Well it is quite along way!! It would take 4.7 million hours or 545 years for the word to reach P! (unless it was recorded and put in an S S) So I guess he still thinks he's a P!
