Logic Puzzle

Just to keep you confused at odd moments of the day.

If I told you that "26 L in the A" is "Letters" and "Alphabet", can you answer the following? There's no prize, and no answers will be posted here, but you can always email me if you want to, either to check your own answers to what I've put here, or with new questions, which I'll put up with a credit to you.
This is not an intelligence test, if anything it tests to see how much trivial information you know, not how clever you are.

This list is mine.

If you have any more, please send them to me. (Questions only!) If you want to know whether your answers are correct, mail me, and I promise to answer as soon as possible.
I do have a few (actually about 270) more, when I've worked them out, I'll post them to this page. If you want to see the ones I have yet to solve look here. Unsolved.

One more thing, please, please, please, don't send me any more copies of the 'mensa' excel file. First off it's not from Mensa, and never was; and second off at least one of the answers is wrong. That document came out of South Africa!
