1. All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.

last at 2:00, they will all be taken in 1 hour.
3. 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate
between AM and PM.

5. 9 live sheep.
6. The match.
7. White. If all the walls face south, the house must be on the North
  Pole.
8. 2 apples. I have 3 apples, you take 2, what do YOU have?
