• (10--17) paperback i have... (full of the hardest problems)

    From HenHanna@NewsGrouper@3:633/280.2 to All on Saturday, August 16, 2025 02:22:08

    10. Dagonet, a Swedish knight of St Olaf, might be remembered
    by paupers at Yuletide. Why?

    11. How did a grove of twelve olive trees, owned by Aristides
    Psairiotis, become eternally English in 1915?

    12. How does the name of James Ryder Randall (1839-1908)
    ..............

    13. Who were the four famous ‘doctors’ of the Quattrocento
    in Italy?

    14. What glasshouse moved from SW7 — or maybe W2— and
    how is it connected with the Liberal M.P.
    for Coventry in 1854?

    15. Whose heart was unable to resist ten thousand dancers?

    16. What colour connects an almost unattainable flower, a
    fictional death-threat, and a singular secret society?

    17. How are Peter, Owen, Billy, Albert, and Elizabeth (by an
    adulatory nickname) related to a little sweep?

    ____________________

    I suppose... 15 and 16 seem most interesting to me.

    I should almost know 15.

    Not that I recall. The Norwood Builder would be an obvious one to try.
