A Rebus is a simple ish word or image puzzle

Take Harry's example up top

You have the word Peace over the word Earth - Peace on Earth. Then the word jumping over 4 Joys...Jumping 4 Joy - Jumping for Joy

I made mine up on the spur of the moment but I don't think it's too hard

Now a letter equation teaser

A well known fact/saying/phrase etc represented by the key words being replaced by the first letter of that word

For example 24 H = 1 D is 24 hours = 1 Day

21 = D on a D
