7 B for 7 S =
13 B D =
146 M B in S =
20 B in a N =
6 P S in I S =
1 C in a D P =
70 S L on a M =

and still unsure of
60 Y for D A = 60 Years for Diamond anniversary
4145 L of the N = 4145 length of the nile?

Any ideas?

13 = bakers dozen
20 = bottles in a nebuchadnezzar
6 = perfect score in ice skating
1 = calorie in diet pepsi
70 = speed limit on a motorway

the two you're unsure of are correct

7b for 7s I suspect is wrong and should be 7=b for sb (seven brides for seven brothers)

146 I also suspect is wrong and should be 147

From Wikipidea
The Nile River is 4,184 miles long. not 4145:(


From that previous Ditloid site

"T RN I 4145 M L - the River Nile is 4145 miles long "

So looks like that is an ( in ) correct answer after all.:)
