The Brain Teaser to Kill Them All!!

[tickford2001]

This was handed to me today, l managed all but two, anyone know them all...? You have to work out what the letters mean. So if l wrote, '24H in a D', that means '24 Hours in a Day' Easy right, some are not so easy:
According to Mensa, if you get 17 of these right, you are clever. Only two Mensa members achieved full marks!
You have 15 minutes to figure the lot out! Good luck & NO cheating...:thebirds:

[EA2BA]

They are part of the answer, and need to be solved as well.

[dansedgli]

Crap now 3BM(SHTR) makes no sense to me.

I thought it was 3 blind mice and SHTR was a hint or something.

I've seen this one around a few times, they tend to vary slightly from country to country due to the currency question and other little details like that.

There is actually a puzzle book I've seen that has about 350 of these - sort of like the brain frying equivalent of one of those giant crosswords you can get.

That would be cheating... here's some help
I've give you an example:
6. 52 C in a P (WJ's)
Answer: 52 cards in a pack(without jokers) :

[tickford2001]

Hey JR
Since when did 28.23 P of C in the HB = your answer
haven't looked at all them yet, WRONG

[xceler8shun]

I had this go around work a few months ago. I ended up with about 29 before I needed to ask someone for help.

Do you mean this answer is wrong?

I don't know if it is or not as I have no idea how many pairs of chromosomes the human body holds, but regardless of the corrent number, that is what the letters stand for.

Check THIS SITE for supporting evidence.

I quote;

"Representation of the 23 paired chromosomes of the human male."
