	All the knowledge of algebra in the world isn't going to help here, lol.

	legs on a spider and wives of henry the eighth did not work for me. I knew them but they wouldnt give them to me. Check it out

	A few of these were so easy, they were hard.

	@Holli; I don't know if the Sporcle gods wanted it this way, but you also needed to type in the necessary answer in parenthesis for 8 L of a S (or an O).

	I was kind of hoping to see 30 D hath SAJ and N.

	I got F'd in the A by entering "squid" instead of spider.

	V_s:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 08:36 GMT	26 points
	Did anyone else try 12 Disciples of Christ? (I knew it was a stretch, but I blanked on any other possibility...)

	I love these types of games, where you know all the answers but you have to think to get them.

	Damn, I tried "teeth in an average mouth" but I guess that just ain't the same thing, is it? @V_s: I think 12 Disciples of Christ should definitely be accepted.

	Tchaikovsky08:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 08:39 GMT	10 points
	Ok, I tried "legs spider," "8 legs on a spider" "legs on a spider," "limbs spider," "legspider," "legsspider," "legs octopus," "8 legs on an octopus," "eight legs on a spider." And ....none of them worked.

	@sussman: I would hope you got all the sports ones though, right?

	steeltown:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 08:46 GMT	1 point
	Henry the 8th registered OK for me, but couldn't get it to do the spider for anything. Very fun quiz!

	legs on a spider didnt work for me

	I'm gonna spend the next hour googling images of graham crackers to prove my guess that they have 18 holes :p

	Sussman in my sporcle? More likely than you'd think. :O

	Ugh...I tried 32 teeth in an adult male, an adult man, and an adult mammal.

	@nate6113 et al. Legs Spider Octopus seems to be what they are looking for

	jhsyodles:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:21 GMT	0 points
	I tried 32 teeth in a mouth...I forgot the word "adult." Ugh!!!

	Niques:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:23 GMT	6 points
	@ Kevin Marshall, how are there 12 halves in a dozen? That was both very easy and very hard. Although a good concept - I hope to see a sequel!

	marpocky:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:26 GMT	13 points
	I'm probably going to get voted down for this, but these aren't really equations. Equations, by definition, involve an equals sign.

	fm_:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:29 GMT	1 point
	I think the spider answer needs to be more consistent; it took "8 legs on a spider" but not simply "legs spider." Same for the alternate for 12 D of C, it didn't take "disciples christ" but it took it when I typed the whole thing.

	jaspa:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:43 GMT	15 points
	Is it bad that I am a Christian and thought of Days of Chanukah before even considering Days of Christmas or Disciples of Christ? Especially since Chanukah only has 8 days... Holy crap. slaps forehead

	jaspa:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 09:45 GMT	10 points
	Also, I can't wait for "2000 G on S" later today.

	betraisefold:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 10:01 GMT	13 points
	@niques: there are 12 of anything in a dozen. On a related note I'm surprised to be defending someone who complains that 12 halves in a dozen isnt an acceptable answer for 24 H in a D.

	Tir McDohl:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 10:33 GMT	-1 points
	I've seen this kind of exercise before, there it was stated that these alone would be sufficient to be an IQ-test. But you could take as long as you want to.

	cottb128:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 10:48 GMT	29 points
	I like my: 8 lines on a stopsign (or an octagon)

	Yeah. Meant to write 24 halves in a dozen. Thanks for throwin' that back in my face, Niques

	y2jdilemma:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 11:19 GMT	4 points
	Is it just me or is there a lot of time? I got the ones I knew, thought a little about the ones I didnt...and still had 9 minutes left.

	Please accept "flavours" as well as "flavors"! It took me ages to work out that I wasn't actually spelling B-R wrong...

	Guinefort:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 12:48 GMT	15 points
	@shoredude2 Christ had 12 apostles. As cls121389 said above, he had way more than 12 disciples.

	zalagreensbury:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 13:48 GMT	-1 points
	I'm usually absolutely horrid at these sort of quizzes because my self-diagnosed adhd won't let me sit still enough to properly read the directions to take the quiz in the first place but I did surprisingly well...good quiz lol.

	I was determined to have '8 Lions on a Shirt' rather than the normal 3 =P can that be a bonus?
