Same old same old - I'll post a question, the next person answers that question and posts a new one. The twist is that these must all have to do with numbers, in a narrative format, with the answer to each question being a number.
To start: A baker's dozen squared, less the number of "years ago" in Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address," plus the number of blackbirds baked in a pie in "Sing a Song of Sixpence," less half a dozen. |

Nice round figure 100
Number of Wise Men(Xmas) Plus "What Cleans a Big Big Carpet(for less than half a crown!)"? (Famous UK TV Ad slogan from the 60's) Plus How many Red Balloons in the song title by Nena? |

No one got this
Here is the answer:3 Wise men the advert slogan dates from the 60's 1001 And 99 Red Balloons giving a total of 1103 New target. Add a duo a trio and a quartet. plus a Bakers Dozen 1 Across. Clue:You're looking at it and you'll be red faced when you find out about it! (3,6) |

difficult, but, then I noticed that there are the same number of page views as there was the day I posted it ! Perhaps this game just died ! "Get your kicks on Route Six-Sixty-Six" |

10 ! (Unless you wanted last number to
be .38, in which case it is 1000 !) Okay, next one : Take the number of steps from the foundation of the Statue of Liberty to the top of the torch Add to that : The total number of pitches thrown by Don Larsen in his World Series perfect game. Divide that sum by : Number of home runs hit by Albert Belle during the 1995 MLB season. Add to that number : Career stolen bases by Yogi Berra ! "Get your kicks on Route Six-Sixty-Six" |

I must be messing up somewhere. I have
354 steps to the top of the torch +97 pitches thrown by Don Larsen --- 451 ÷50 ALbert Belle homers in 1995 --- 9.02 +30 career steals by Yogi --- 39.02 <---my answer I'm guessing you don't want a non-integer...although it's certainly not stipulated! _____________________________________________________________ The trouble with political jokes is that very often they get elected. ~ Will Rogers |

If that one is anywhere near letting us go on, see if you can stick with this one having to do with numbers in book titles:
Start With: The _______________ Names of God, by Arthur Clarke Divide By: __________ Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne Plus: ______________ Acres, by Jane Smiley Divide by: Fahrenheit _______, by Ray Bradbury = ???? _____________________________________________________________ The trouble with political jokes is that very often they get elected. ~ Will Rogers |

My sources showed the number
of steps as 403 ! "Get your kicks on Route Six-Sixty-Six" |

|
|

I might have missed a few! At 403, your answer is 40.
