I think the answer No.15 should be 1/2 hour each.
Otherwise agree they are all gone in an hour.
Depends how you read it I guess.

No, he cannot marry his widow's sister. His widow implies that he is dead. A dead man cannot enter into marriage...I think. We can feel like it afterwards though...waa ha ha!!!
 
take Dartnut's #4 and put it in Coyote Jack's answers and you have my answers (although, for 14, I said 'half way', and 'Barrack Obama' for #20).
