L , B have their usual meanings. First Wish (L/2,B/3) Second Wish(L/4,B/9), Third Wish(L/8,B/27). B = 9 = B/27 = 1/3. L/8 x 1/3 = l/24 = 4 = l = 96 cms.

6 That's the Letter M. 7 Too much analyzation, maybe next time. :D 8 answer is coal or "uling" in Tagalog. 9 is FELIX Fe- Iron (table of elements), LIX - Roman Numeral for 59. 10 has too much geometry.
