    The answer is 9 Lives of a Cat.
    Now I was brought up using metric but could it be 9 links in a chain? possibly, I don't konw, just a thought.

    Probably more correct to say 16 pawns on a chessboard.

    It was actually 16 P___ on a C____ so that would mean 16 pawns on a chessboard ^.^

    12 = S of the Z
    54 = C in a D (with J)
    18 = H on a G C
    200 = D for P G in M
    1 = W on a U
    1000 = W that a P is W
    7 = W of the A W
    13 = N in a BD
    12 = K of the RT
    3 = B M (S H T R)


    The following apply to the U.S.A, but not necessarily to other countries:

    11 = P on a F T
    9 = J on the S C
    20 = N in a D

    You got 'em idioms...

    The only ones left from my first post are:

    13 = N in a BD (This one could be a little tricky, and one's ability to guess it might depend on one's age ... a humorous dictionary once defined a "BD" as ""12 of today's and 1 of yesterday's" )


    And the "American" ones:

    11 = P on a F T
    9 = J on the S C
    20 = N in a D
