And, per Gulliver's hint, 44 is: Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow
16...Gilbert Islands, perhaps? (Googled on this one)

Shot in the dark, I searched for 11 enigma it came up with this possibility for 68 the 11 Publius Enigma.
Does this make sense? Don't ask where I got enigma from, it just popped into my head |

9. Angel Falls, 979 Meters High (I got lucky on this one, thinking, "I wonder if M is meters." Googled on "979 meters" and there it was.)
Gazvee: Could 50 be "Top 7 at 7"? There's a local radio station where I live that plays the Top Nine at Nine (o'clock); is there something in Ireland that does similarly?
More musing: Could the "I" in 12 or 18 be Irish or Ireland?

OK, since there are a number of Biblical/Christian references in the list, I was pondering whether or not 68 could be "the 11 Pauline Epistles." The only problem I see with this interpretation is that there are thirteen Pauline Epistles, not eleven. Gavzee, any chance of this being a typo?
Also, Gavzee, d'ya think you could edit your last list to add in the ones that were subsequently correctly identified? |
