Hi All,
Though this isn't a crossword puzzle, I thought minds that are used to 'cryptic' clues might help.

I've got some killer ditloids (I've got cream for them :) )

for example '3 M in a B' = 3 Men in a Boat

So here they are:

35 D of a D
37 DCS by SRB
57 PFD in a R
P65 T
67 M in H
94 M by P

I'm thinking 65 might be 'Pennsylvania 65 Thousand'. Any help with the rest will be much appreciated.

Toodles! In your example the "3" was relevant as part of the clue. Are the other numbers rart of the clues or just the number of each clue?

i.e., the last one might be Munchausen by Proxy; but is the "94" relevant?

Hi, the numbers are all relevant, for example if I wrote '7 W of the AW' the answer would be '7 Wonders of the Ancient World'. Or '52 C in a P' would be '52 Cards in a Pack'. So the words have to relate to the number in some way.

Got a feeling that these are much more difficult to work out than those examples though. I just cannot figure them out.

Wondered whether 94M by P could be 94 masterpieces by Picasso but sure he did more than that. Will keep thinking.
