Lateral thinking quizz

[dreampolice]

Ok trendsetters have a go at the following. 40 quesstions follow with a number as the answer.Your mission = simple (!).
Decode the question to form a saying/date in history/measurement/or other fitting reply.

For those that rush ahead and don't read second paragraphs some of the letters below are A= assasinated, D= disciples,B = big and Y = year, but only in some or one answer!

Good luck i'll pop in every hour os so and see how you are going, and if you need offer some clues, as a parting gift 9 is 6 = feet in a fathom, and 19 is 27 = number 0ne hits for the beatles.
