Boy it's been awhile, but I decided to try and revive the trivia thread. Who's in?

Alright, I tallied up the previous ones that were answered correctly and here are the new scores.

Score: Nephtysis - 40

I'm going to mix it up and include some easily googlable questions and some not so much.
So, here are the new questions:

Q1: Who has the world record for the most patents? (1)

Q2: You have a yard that is 10 feet long and 30 feet wide, bordered on one of the 30 foot sides by your house. You need to buy a fence for that yard to keep your dog in and your weird neighbors out. Sections fence cost $20 for every three feet of fence you need. How much will it cost you to fence your yard? Or is this a trick question? (3)

Q3: You now need to paint your fence. Your fence is five feet tall. If a bucket of paint will cover 10 square feet and each bucket costs $15, how much will it cost to paint your fence? (Note: you only need to paint the side that faces inward, towards your yard. You don't care about the side that faces the weird neighbors.) (3)

Q4: What is a dachsund? (1)

Q5: Solve this riddle

"A beast which fights invisibly,
subdues all creatures easily,
hastens as its prey tries to flee,
a precursor to death, you see."

(4)

Q6: Give one example of when a while true statement would get the job done better than a recursive if/else if method. (2)

Q7: What was Yuri Gagarin's call sign in his legendary space flight? (2)

Q8: What process revolutionized America (and quite possibly, the world) by making steel much easier to manufacture in the mid 1800s? (2)

Q9: Can a chameleon look in two different directions? (1)

Q10: Who invented polystyrene foam? (1)

Have fun!
