Leg Before Wicket
The point is any Aussie, British, Pakistani or Indian, etc could answer that.
Perhaps as its easy for any American to know what an RV is. You shouldnt assume though that everything in your country is widely known internationally.
And the LBW rule is simple.
A player is out LBW if the ball strikes his pad, foot or leg first (or in fact any part your body although you would have to be in a wierd position to get hit on the shoulder and be LBW) and
1 - would have gone on to hit the wicket in the judgment of the umpire
2 - did not pitch outside leg stump
3 - did not pitch outside off stump ONLY if the batsmen was offering a shot
Obviously you cant be LBW to a no ball

As for advantage rule, I cannot see what can be clearer? The Ref will clearly state if he is playing a penalty advantage or just a knock on advantage, and will also clearly state "advantage over" at the point he will no longer go back to the original penalty because the team offended against has already had an advantage from the course of play.
