Question

24 = V that CD from I. The only quiz question I can't answer - does anyone know what the letters stand for?

Answer 1

This is a toughie. I think you might focus on the "D" since it will probably be the verb in the sentence, and must fit with "from". I'm thinking: derived from..., developed from..., departed from..., etc. "C" as a one word subject could be a place (China, Connecticut, Cincinatti, etc.) or maybe a person known by one name (Caesar, Cher, Custer, etc.) Good luck.

Answer 2

Without any context I'm assuming it is a cryptic clue.

That would mean the letters might all be roman numerals.

V=5 CD=400 I=1.

That still doesn't mean anything though. Is there more to it?

Answer 3

It's definitely an Equation Analysis question, like

12 = N. on a C.  (Numbers on a Clock)

From "I" - could "I" stand for a place, like Italy, Ireland, Iran, Iraq?  "C" might be a person's name, and "D" might be a verb, but that's all I've got on this one.
