This is my plan for an interesting trip:
I'll start out from London (point A), I'll head to point B, point B
being on a bearing of 45 degrees (North East). From point B I'll turn
exactly 90 degrees left and head off the same distance to point C. From
point C I'll turn exactly 90 degrees left again and head off straight
back to London.
Where will my trip take me?

Four couples, the Greens, the Whites, the Norths, and the Wests, sit
at two tables to play bridge. One table is green, the other white. Each
table has four seat directions: north, south, east, and west, corresponding
to compass directions, with north/south partners and east/west partners.
Assume, in the following facts, that specific references to individuals
within each fact are mutually exclusive so, for example, in #3 you can
infer that Mr. West is not the salesman. Also, no person has more than
one profession.
1. Each partnership is male/female, but never a couple.
2. Nobody sits at a direction or table that matches their last name.
3. Neither Mr. and Mrs. West, nor the salesman and his wife, sit at
the same table.
4. A man sits north at each table.
5. The lawyer sits directly to his wife's right.
6. Mr. White is partner to the accountant's wife.
7. Mr. and Mrs. North sit in the same direction.
8. Dr. Green and the lawyer's wife do not sit in the same direction.
Who is Mr. West's partner, and where does she sit?

In my trusty old dictionary between a tress
of hair and a useful word for things that are smaller than usual I find
a tropical tree; a plastic substance applied to walls; a singular round
of applause; a thespian; a type of wordsmith; something most people are
seeking; a commoner; an over-abundance; a carbonaceous substance; choose
unhesitatingly; spoils; knickerbockers; a powerful wealthy man and a rural
thief.
Can you spot anything celestial?

At a fancy-dress party, I saw people who had come as:
The thespian cousin of a former Presidential candidate
An abstract-expressionist painter
A former Prime Minister of a bi-lingual nation
One of Woody Allen's on-screen wives, and
Gwendolyn's Mum
Which spy was also represented?
