Here's a classic one:
7 DOTW = 52 C in a D = 5 L on a S = S W and the 7 D = 256 8 B I V = 12 H from N to M = 1000 P killed by S L = 12 J on a J = 2 H on a J C = 3 M to B your T = 13 S on the USF = 168 H in a W = 7 C in a R =

Here's a classic one: 7 DOTW = 7 Drinks of the Week unless the letters got mixed. Then it would be 7 Days With Out Tops. 52 C in a D = 52 Cats in a Dream 5 L on a S = 5 Ladies on a Singledude S W and the 7 D = Snow White and the 7 Dorks 256 8 B I V = 2568 BI Virgins 12 H from N to M = 12 Hunks from Noon to Midnight 1000 P killed by S L = 1000 Posters killed by Scottish Lassie

I think that's all of them, excepting 2 H on a J C = 3 M to B your T = The first one is tough. JM might figure it out. It's about a "cute" freak of nature. The second one is advice we've all heard 1,000 times. Incidentally, 5 L on a S was intended to be "5 legs on a starfish", but "5 lines on a scale" works just as well.

All I can come up with for that one is:
2 H on a J C = 2 Hands on a Julien Clock

There's a few more I can suggest:
6 E on the J in a P of C 9 P on a B T 76 T in the B P 57 V of H 9 C in the F of the R 206 B in the H B 8 M in the H P F 7 B in the C of N 35 out of 97 P and C K in the H D 99 R B

Coprimality is the correct condition, but it's a stronger condition than B) in #726. For example, the formula fails for the pair 6, 9 even though 6 doesn't divide 9 and 9 doesn't divide 6. As for the cork problem, we had three contenders: @beerwench - cork will float to top at normal rate Lizard King (v1.0) - cork floats to the top at less than normal rate Lizard King (v2.0) - cork floats to the top at greater than normal rate And the winner is *drumroll*: Nobody. The cork actually stays at the bottom of the bucket. It doesn't float at all. This is because buoyancy is a function of the static forces induced by gravity. Under the effects of gravity, water is heavier than the cork and hence induces an upward force. But for a pail in freefall, the whole system is uniformly accelerating at g. The components in the pail (the water and the cork) exert no net buoyancy forces since both are completely weightless in the accelerating frame. If this doesn't make conceptual sense to you, consider an opposite case where you start by holding a brick at the very top of a bucket of water and then simultaneously drop the bucket and the brick. Both will accelerate downward uniformly at g. The brick will not sink into the water until the bucket hits the ground. Partial credit?
