Each of the following has a given number of words. Can you put them in order starting with the largest and working down.
Any one giving the correct number of words for each one will get two extra points.

The Ten Commandments, Us Declaration of Independence, Pythagoras' Theorem, EU Regulations on the Sale of Cabbages, The Gettysburg Address, The Lord's Prayer, Archimedes Principle, US Constitution with all 27 Amendments.
