found a ditloid on a site that hasnt been answered since 2010, i got it straight away, lets see how quick someone can get it on here as there seems to be a lot of clever forum members :)

1887= QVGJ (its probably very easy, but we'll see)
Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee
Question Author
i knew it would be quick , but not that bloody quick (less han a minute), still with a name like emeritus i shouldnt be suprised :) nice job!

No solver site req'd, it's history, know your dates
Question Author
OK i thought this was a good one, try not to spoil it by going to a solver site. This one is hard but dooable:

392 = P for C in S (RS in S for OW)
Question Author
and one more i made up...

10 a 6 (HG) PTOTMHH
392 points for Caziques in Scrabble (Record Score in Scrabble for One Word ) ?
Question Author
Very good 9 mins for that one.... what about my one?
Something like
10 and six Price Tag on the Mad Hatters Hat
Question Author
Yes ill give you that (HG = Half Guinea which is 10/6 - roughly the price of a hat at the time Lewis Caroll wrote Alice in wonderland). Well done!

One more then i'll call it a day.
