Hint
There are 13 loaves in a baker's dozen.

Answer
Loaves in a dozen baker's dozen.

Reasoning
A baker's dozen is 13, so a dozen baker's dozen is:

   12 x 13 = 156 loaves

There are 15 red balls in snooker, and each of these can be followed by the black ball, and then the colours in order gives:

   15 x (1 + 7) + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 147 points

This can rise to 155 if the break follows a foul.

Hint
There are 3 P's, so there are 3 different ways to start the word.

Answer
960.

Reasoning
Given: P P P U U Z Z Z Z Z L L L L E S S.

The order of the Z's is important. For example, we could chose a red one and a green one, so the order they appear in the sign has to be taken into consideration.

There are:
   3 different P's that could be chosen.
   2 different U's that could be chosen.
   5 different Z's that could be chosen.
   4 different Z's that could be chosen, as one has already been chosen.
   4 different L's that could be chosen.
   1 E that could be chosen.
   2 different S's that could be chosen.

So there are 3 x 2 x 5 x 4 x 4 x 1 x 2 = 960 different ways to make the sign.

Hint
Look for the question.

Answer
N.

Reasoning
Starting with the first letter and taking every other letter gives: TO BE OR NOT TO BE TH

Starting with the second letter and taking every other letter gives: AT IS THE QUESTIO

Combining gives: TO BE OR NOT TO BE THAT IS THE QUESTIO, and the last letter of QUESTION is missing.
