Puzzles

I occasionally think of puzzles, including crosswords and here I offer a few to enthusiasts.

Other puzzles occur to me occasionally, usually in the form of the sort of question associated with BBC Radio 4's Round Britain Quiz, to which I sent one or two many years ago. The following, however, have not been published anywhere else before.

  1. Who (in literature) links these and how?
    • Felix
    • Tom Riddle
    • Foot and mouth disease
    • Jeeves
  2. Who links the following?
    • red crabs in the forest
    • a 10 Downing Street cat
    • justice
    • Zen Buddhism
    — and, of course, how?
  3. What links
    • cream of tartar
    • the number 336
    • dried cow dung
    • vociferous dispute
    • novelist Julien Gracq
    • American jazz musician Yusef Lateef
    • the Crozon peninsular
    — and (as always) how?
