Letter Equations are well known phrases or facts where the key words have been replaced with the first letter of that word. These are often in the form of an equation, which contain a number, an = sign and the rest of the obscured phrase or fact.
WHAT DOES THIS EQUAL?
12=DD + 11=PP + 10=LL + 9=LD + 8=MM + 7=SS + 6=GL + 5=GR + 4=CB + 3=FH + 2=TD + 1=PPT = ?
Answer
12DC / The Twelve Days Of Christmas
12=DD = 12 drummers drumming
11=PP = 11 pipers piping
10=LL = 10 lords 'a' leapin'
9=LD = 9 ladies dancing
8=MM = 8 maids 'a' milkin'
7=SS = 7 swans 'a' swimmin'
6=GL = 6 geese 'a' layin'
5=GR = 5 golden rings
4=CB = 4 calling birds
3=FH = 3 french hens
2=TD = 2 turtle doves
1=PPT = partridge in a pear tree

| Very clever.
As usual, I was trying to make it harder than it actually was.
Good job! |

| Very Seasonal. I wish I had read the title. Maybe I would have had a clue. At least that is the excuse I am going to use.  |

| I got it right away! Didn't notice the title. Don't remember if there was a hint. I didn't use it if there was. Good one - cute. |

| Shouldn't it have started with #1 and gone on through to #12?? That is the way I heard the song. I believe it starts with "On the first day of Christmas etc" This is backwards. No wonder it was hard.

| Suddenly the answer jumped out at me. Maybe "leaped" or "danced" is more accurate! |

| Saw this on fb this morning and I was like what the heck? Then I saw the title and I had it immediately. Too easy the title gives it away. Still good though. |
