The 'las' in "ingeniárselas"

The "las" in " … donde se las tuvieron que ingeniar …" is obviously an integral part of a specific [idiomatic?] expression; Why is it feminine plural? Is it referring to something specific? My dictionaries do list "ingeniárselas" as a separate word in its own right.

Tardar, Exclamations and More

Are these translations also valid:

"It was magnificent!" = "¡Qué magnífico!"
"I arrived in just two hours!" = "¡Tardé solo dos horas en llegar!"
"We also drank cava!" = "¡Bebimos cava también!"

Also, can "Después" be changed with "Luego"?

Question 4. Adjective and Noun matching

Una pared de mi habitacion es rosa. I thought that walls and rosas had to agree in number? Adjective agrees with the noun in number?? I am new at this, so sorry if it sounds very elementary.

Thank you.
