Except for the spelling :grin: , yes.

In your original post you have the unanswered clues in red and those answered in black. From what I see, that has not been updated.

I remember these from the BBS days; then the internet came along and every man and his dog pestered me with the darn things.
In retaliation I wrote the spreadsheet (attached), and ran off a fresh iteration (F9-Recalc key) and emailed it back to each sender.

The fad soon ceased.
Worldwide. :evilgrin:

You have it back to front. I have been diligently updating the original :smile:
The correctly answered ones are in RED and the ones that are still to be answered are in BLACK

Since the puzzle has gone over to a second page, here it is again for easy reference...(just the ones still needing an answer)...

Expand the sentence

EG:
Q. 365 D. in a Y
A. 365 Days in a Year

---------------------------------
Red = Answered - Black = Not yet answered

1. 31 = F at B.R.
11. 8 = # of P. IN THE S.S.
21. 1 W. on a U.
23. 12 N. on a C.

24. 21 N. on the G.S.
33. 18 = # of H. on a G. C.
34. 8 = # of S. on a S. S.
