7 S in a H

[Diane1954]

7 sides in a heptagon??

[midleton]

thanks Diane! its obvious once you see the words!

[paulsquiz]

47 miracles by Jesus ?

[midleton]

marvellous, thanks Paulsquiz!

[Postdog]

1001 arabian nights (can't believe you never got that old chestnut)

That said, I know the simple ones are sometimes the hardest.

[Ivorbiggun]

Difficult to get Arabian Nights out of AB!!

[midleton]

I got arabian nights, but look closely, this one is AB, and nights doesn't start with B!

[Catron]

Ah but midleton has it as 1001 AB, Postdog, and not 1001 AN. LOL.

Where does it say that Jesus did 47 miracles, paulsquiz? - has somebody counted them?

[paulsquiz]

Even at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracles_attribut ed_to_Jesus they attribute 47 miracles to Jesus - 40 of them recorded in the canonical Gospels and 7 recorded only in non-canonical sources

[Postdog]

OK, sorry, I've been up since five and obviously tired. Too tired....

However, I am sure that has already been asked on here somewhere

[Catron]

Well well - thanks for that paulsquiz.

1001 AB.... devonlass asked this on the 15th over in riddles. she had 1001 AN.

[squarebear]

Yep. It looks like a typo. The B is next to the N so it's easily done.

[midleton]

I did wonder that myself...
thanks for all your help to everyone
