hi, could do with some help on the following:-
1, 15 F P in T
2, 4000 A D of the E in M
3, 4 O of the W
4, 3 the T M

15 = FP in T = First Point in Tennis

3 Looks like 4 Oceans of the World...but I thought there were 5?

4. Looks like 3 = the Three Musketeers (surely not)
2. Could be 4000 = Average Diameter of the Earth in Miles
(This needs checking)
3. There are 5 distinct oceans - and if you count N &S Atlantic / Pacific you can get 7. Hence the phrase "Sail the Seven Seas"

I've just checked and the diameter of the earth is about 8000 miles (7913 miles) ie radius of 4000 miles

For Mars, it's D = 4217 miles!

Old Adage; Anyone can set a Quiz - but few can set a GOOD Quiz!
