I wish to inform you and the members viewing tthis thread that all questions aren't meant to be answered within 10 seconds; If you take a set of 20 questions, set the time limit as 200 seconds; this is because this thread is a mixed bag and contains both easy and relatively tough questions. Hence, you don't have to worry if you've taken a little more than 10 seconds for answering a question.

Regarding #1038, I shall post the solution in a day or two if there are no responses, or if the answers aren't correct.
