40a has been discussed very often on here over the last few days - the decision seems to be that the setter has made a mistake and the answers is indeed Riddles - same as the clue.

40a Er, well riddles are enigmas... :-)

20a's also been answered several times - it's USUAL (if you put the clue into the search box at the top, you'll see the other threads)
