Mariyam Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Legend had it that Pierre Krznoski, an accomplished accordion maestro in the court of the King of Poland. The king was so enamoured by Pierre's skills with the accordion that he wanted his wife the queen to learn to play the instrument, so that she could play him some music in their chambers. The King instructs Pierre to teach the Queen, which he starts doing diligently and after a few classes the Queen falls in love with him and the two start having an affair. When the king finds out, he orders Pierre's execution. Pierre pleads for his life, and the King poses the following riddle. If he can answer 30 of the 33 questions he will be spared. See how many you can solve. You have to decipher what these codes stand for. for eg. 24 H in a D- 24 hours in a day Note: Take this in strict test conditions. 15 mins max time and do not consult the services of maharishi google. 1. 26 L of the A 2. 7 D of the W 3. 7W of the W 4. 12S of the Z 5. 66B of the B 6. 52C in a PC (WJs) 7. 13S in USF 8. 18H on a GC 9. 39B of the OT 10. 5T on a F 11. 90D in a RA 12. 3BM (SHTR) 13. 32 is the D F at which W M 14. 15 P in a RT 15. 3W on a T 16. 100K in a R 17.11P in a F(S)T 18. 12M in a Y 19. 13 = UFS 20. 8T on a O 21. 29D in F in a LY 22. 27B in the NT 23. 13L in a BD 24. 9L of a C 25. 60M in a H 26. 23 P of C in the HB (hint: Biblical) 27. 64S on a CB 28. 9P in RSA 29. 6B to an O in C 30. 1000Y in a M 31. 15M on a DMC 32. 52 W in a Y 33. 365D in a Y Some of these are quite, some not so.
