none of the questions specify how many people are in the pot. If you have only 6 outs after the flop in a two way pot the odds are slightly different than they would be in a 3 way pot.

In a two way pot the chances of you improving with only 2 outs after the turn are slightly less than if you are in a three way pot with only 2 outs after the turn.

Also in question 10 you dont specify the cards that appear on the flop. If the flop comes A-K-2 when the 10 comes on the turn the QQ has 6 outs. If the flop comes A-6-3 when the 10 comes on the turn the QQ has only 2 outs.

stuff Matt said

I was worried about that, I took it as it was just you for the ones that don't mention other people and where another is mentioned, just them.

Of course, depending on which way it is, I do have them all right Cheesy

In a two way pot there are only 4 cards on board and 4 cards in the hands of the players - therefore the two outs are contained within the 44 remaining cards in the deck.

In a three way pot there are 4 cards on board and 6 cards in the hands of the players - therefore the two outs are contained within the remaining 42 cards in the deck.

This will therefore improve the chances of hitting your 2 outer.

(of course you have to also take burn cards into consideration in live tourneys but you get the gist Smiley)
