I need help with some quiz questions, so if there is anyone who can help......

Questions and answers relate to numbers.
E.g. 100 P in the P (100 pence in the pound)
15 P in a RT (15 players in a rugby team)
1979, MT is PM (1979, Margaret Thatcher is Prime Minister)
10F, H of a BR (10 ft, height of a basketball ring)

Here's the ones I am stuck on:

3 T D
2 P is a B of S
6 B make a C of W
12 D R
5 W on a C
4 R form a C
10 D S
88291 is R T
100 D, B P for W
21, T on a D
31 D in M
6 J, O O
1984, P A C E A

Anyone have any ideas?:confused:
Some one in my office is ACE at these, have just printed off and passed to her, give us half an hour
