In John Crace’s sketch (O Grant, Grant, wherefore art thou Grant?, 30 April), he is looking for Grant Shapps but can’t find him. But “wherefore art thou?”, taken from Juliet’s cry concerning Romeo, really means “why are you [Romeo]?”, not “where are you?”. Hmm… on second thoughts, maybe this mistake was intentional: “Why are you Grant Shapps?” is a serious question that needs to be asked.Akiva SolemaniLondon

• Further to Peter Bradshaw’s article (Citizen Kane and the meaning of Rosebud, 25 April): Kane whispers “Rosebud”, the snow-globe falls from his hand and clatters to the floor, the nurse comes into the bedroom and finds him dead. The real mystery is, as nobody else was in the room when he spoke, how did anyone know that his final word was Rosebud?Graeme GardenEnstone, Oxfordshire

• I’ve always found that a good test of whether people really understand what maths is about (Marcus du Sautoy, 30 April) is their reaction to the mathematical joke – “2+2 = 5, for sufficiently large values of 2.” A titter or better is a good sign. More often than not it leads to a blank stare.Karl SabbaghNewbold on Stour, Warkwickshire

• So Scrabble is a “game” because it does not require hand-eye coordination (Letters, 30 April). How, then, does one get the tile neatly into the square on the board?Michael CunninghamWolverhampton

• At the entrance to a well-known maternity unit in Bristol, there used to be a large waste bin with a sign reading “Drop your litter here” (Letters, 30 April).Dr Patricia HamiltonTotnes, Devon

• Driving out of Oldham on the A672, there are warnings regarding “Slow sheep”. I wonder if they have come over from Yorkshire?Ken FormanManchester
