Find X
X = (AB * ((C+D)/(E+F)) + G) (HI - (JK/LM)) ((sqrt(N+O-P)) - (Q/R) (S - TU) + V) / ((sqrt(W + Y)) (Z))
In MathML that translates to:
where...
A = # of the "lucky" roulette bet in "Casablanca."
B = day of the month Jeannie (as in "I Dream Of") was born.
C = first words spoken to James Bond by Dr. No.
D = nearest # of minutes it takes Adam Strange to travel from Earth to Rann (via zeta-beam, of course).
E = # in title of movie in which Peter O'Toole kisses Audrey Hepburn in a broom closet.
F = # of Maris' 61 which were grand slams.
G = # of people who survived Project Scoop and were thus investigated by Project Wildfire.
H = final digit on sign on Mad Hatter's hat.
I = day of the month Felix Unger's wife tossed him out (TV version).
J = in Scrabble, the maximum amount an "X" tile can be worth ITSELF (i.e. not counting other letters' values) if it is the only tile played in a turn (assume any possible board position).
K = margin by which USC outscored Notre Dame in the SECOND half of their 1974 football game.
L = the maximum # of strikeouts possible in one inning if no runs are scored.
M = # of rings Ragadorr has, according to Adam Strange.*
N = height of G-L-O-R-I-A, in inches.
O = # of survivors of the Poseidon (not counting sequels).
P = # of states which could host an entire World Series.
Q = squad # of the men in "Emergency."
R = # of round Bart Starr was drafted in.
S = # of reasons H & R Block should prepare your tax return.
T = Bullwinkle's hat size.
U = # of bodies Triplicate Girl currently has.
V = # of times Williams won on the original G.E. College Bowl.
W = # of times Amherst won on the original G.E. College Bowl.
Y = # of nipples Scaramanga had in "The Man With The Golden Gun."
Z = # of members (including honorary ones) who were already in the Justice League of America when Hawkman joined.
X = the length, in yards, of one of the finishing holes at Taconic.
* In April, 2020, nearly 41 years after this contest, Richard Weinberg '74 pointed out that the Seven Rings of Ragadorr was actually a spell of Dr. Strange, of Marvel Comics, not Adam Strange of DC Comics.
