I disagree with the number alphabet puzzle's solution. You can write myriad with the letters.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: New Puzzles 5
Hi MIF;
For the "It Could Be Verse" puzzle there are three more solutions:
For "Mince Pie Madness" that is the correct solution. You solve it using this equation.
p = 109
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Nice! Also "many", "lots" and "heaps".
Thanks bobby for those, will add them.

Well, unlike "heaps" and "many" and such, "myriad" is an actual number.
The puzzles are nice indeed! And there have been so many new ones in the last couple of days! Keep up the good work!
