I'm glad you asked that Bobb. I originally thought 4. was
4. the pairs of wings on a beetle. except they have four wings, but not four pairs of wings, as that would make 8 wings. Back to the drawing board.
A bit of clarity on precise letter counts would help in 96. Could the last two words be sixty nine?
Also just had a brainwave re 39. (Martin Luthers) Articles of faith. However although there are the 39 articles in CofE, I can't make it work.
