Logic puzzles - help!

Does anyone like getting to grips with this sort of puzzle? I have 2 here, which I and several friends are struggling with ( not for any gain, just sheer persistance!!) !
Can anyone help with answers / ideas - even partial answers?!
1. 1234567899999 (A 'say what you see' puzzle - other examples are: 1 T 3 4 5 =
Tea for two - T instead of 2; AL houses L = all around the houses.)

2. (Really hard!) I B T A 3 O 2 T 136 T 2 to the 256 E in the U and a S N of P
(For anyone not familiar with these, easier ones are - 11 P in a FT = 11 players in a football team; 24 H in a D = 24 hours in a day

Love to hear from anyone with half a clue!! Lindy.
