Infuriating Quiz help needed Enter the AD-FREE zone

You can insert punctuation into the title as you see fit.

I'm trying to complete one of these quizzes where they give you a number then some initials, and you have to expand the expression:

eg: 24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day
32 FP of W in F = 32 Freezing Point of Water in Fahrenheit

etc. Some may be dates, some are mathematical (we had the pair 91 IN a PN [is not a prime number], followed by 97 I [97 is]), some are other stuff. Doing quite well, and only 4 are left - but I've no idea what they are at all. The first three were classed as Medium, while the last one is Evil.

33 V in the H B
1100 T F T Y
2006 N W S O
344 A of H P in A

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I figure the 2006 one might be Next Winter Sports Olympics - but the official title doesn't have "Sports" in it, so an alternative would be good.

Oh, and did you know that the Last Aurochs Died in Poland in 1627?

33 V in the H B

33 volts in the head band. A negative reinforcement technique.

Maybe "2006 N W S O" has something to do with the date 20 June, just before the longest day/shortest night. But the Winter Sports Olympics is a good bid as well.

I think the 33 vertebrae is right. We're born with that many.

Is there a Winter Special Olympics? (I can't believe I'm suggesting this.)

Ah, we thought it might be vertebrae - but a web-search turned up 20-something. You reckon we're born with 33?

Yes, a revised web search for vertebrae birth 33 confirms that 33 is the standard number at birth.

Could "1100 T F T Y" have something to do with a three year time span? Three years have 1095/1096 days so it's pretty close.

Got spare money?

No, I think 1100 T F T Y has to do with the millenium. 1100 is the first date in the year 2000, or 1000, (01.01.00). "Turn of the First something Years".

Well, duh. If anyone has advocated that point to near exhaustion it's me. I specifically did not say it was the first day/year of any millenium. I said it might have something to do with the millenium.

Well, not the local government, no.

"344 A of H P in A"... Aristotle, Alexander? It was about that time b.c. that the former took on the latter as his pupil.
