I'm not answering all of these, but for #7 I would take the room with tigers who haven't eaten in 3 years, as they would be dead tigers :D

#8: All of them

3. Metal 'shoes' would be horse racing and horse shoes
4. None, Big Ben is the bell
5. 22
6. Address numbers (like for lettering a house/mailbox)
9. 50 pence and a 5 pence (one of them isn't a 5 pence, the other one is)

3 = B M (S H T R) = 3 blind mice (see how they run)
18 = H oa GC = 18 holes on a golf course
21 = D oa D = 21 dots on a die
88 = PK = 88 piano keys
366 = D in a L Y = 366 days in a leap year

This one is killing me:

You can lap the last person if the race is run on a track, in which case you'd be in first, unless another person who is on the same lap as you passed the last person before you did.

Yep. It's 8. Four sides, a clock on each with two hands. ;-)

The only thing I can think of atm that has 26 are letters in the alphabet (wrong acronym) and black cards in a deck (missing letters).

26 BD= belettering digits? Lol I don't even think that's a word, but it sounds like a clever name for letters :P

Haha I asked this one to my sister, and she honestly thought that the answer was, 'I don't know, but I bet they were on special offer' lol

I'm still not sure what BD is.

26 Bi-weekly Dates (in a year?), like pay periods?

I'm hoping it's something really obscure. LOL

Hmmm...

This ones got me really stumped too, haven't seen it before. I have seen 13 BD (bakers dozen) referenced before,

Interesting facts for 26 I found on the web:
26 vertebrae (back disks??)
26 bones in the foot
26 truly democratic countries
26 states on the back of a $5 bill
26 stages of baby development

Lots of other interesting things,

I give:-) Hope someone else gets it.

26 Boxing Day

26 Boxing Day

I googled and wiki'd and still have no idea what that means. Seem a bit out of context when compared to the others.

Gluttony you're almost ace'ing all my questions, and Manutd too....lol

4. Is incorrect

Oh no you didn't:
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_ben)

Lol yeah I got that, the part I don't get is how it fits into the category as the others did since it's not just the number 26 but December 26th, which means it should look more like D 26 = BD. Thank you for the ref as Boxing Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_day) is also celebrated in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

The reason I added 26 BD was it was on a quiz sheet I had done recently... Took me ages to get it too... Did seem a bit out of context to me too, but we didn't what it to be too easy, eh?

And to clarify question 4

4. How many hands does the clock of Big Ben have? 8 four faces on the clock and 2 hands on each face.

Do we want another lot of questions?
