  2. 1. 3 colors so 4 balls?

    4. 3 sons, 4 daughters
    5. Feel like I'm missing something but going to say 9th?
    6. Assuming you can't tape pieces together, just over 9 so 10 tapes. 
    8. 3 men, 3 women, 13 children. 
    9. 6
    10. Push the cork into the bottle. 
    12. 10 minutes.

    A suggestion: Personally, I prefer reading stuff when the title isn't all caps/ screaming in my face.

    Thank you Time-LSF! Good one, but ...

    Apology for raising this, but there is only one "double 0" and one "double 6" combination directly adjacent next to each other in the grid, although the total of 56 (7x8) matches twice the number of 28 domino pieces in a normal set! The  "double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5" are fine.

     

    I'm not quite sure what you are saying. A domino consists of 2 squares. So while there are 56 squares, there's only 28 dominoes. So for example, A2 and A3 together are a single domino. 

     

    TSLF- Do you want them arranged in an 8x7 grid like the picture? That would mean some rows and columns would contain more than one of a number. Is that correct?

  4. "5) The Chilean, who is not next door but one to the Belgian"

    I had the opposite understanding

    If the Chilean were pitch 5, the Belgian could not be pitches 4 or 6 because those would be next door. The Belgian could be 3 or 7 if that was meant to read one to the right/left of the Belgian.

    I've interpreted clue 7 to mean the American found more than the Englishman. Do you have an alternative interpretation? That would contradict your 2nd and 3rd solutions.  If you swap Spain and Belgium, Marie no longer finds twice as many as the Spaniard. Your first might be the one! The only thing that would make it incorrect is whatever the intention was on the Belgium clue...

    I'm coming up with an almost complete solution, but I have ambiguity on who prefers letterbox or virtual caches, which I think could belong to either of two people.

    You have Marie as finding 16. Clue 6 says 16 were found by a man. I assume Marie is a woman. Only time the clues seem to specify man or woman... This appears to be unsolvable with that constraint though...
