Question 1, 4 and 5 is all about concentration
Question 2 is about thinking outside of the box, but
a) there is even an answer with 3 lines and
b) it's so old and common knowledge I guess almost everyone has come across it.
Question 3 is about the phrasing and a little bit harder if your mothers tongue isn't english.
Kind of a shitty compilation, if you mix so many different styles of trick questions, especially such old ones.

So the first question was dead obvious in their intent, but it shows an abysmal failure of language comprehension on the part of the would-be quiz master.
In English, and probably most other languages, economy of words is very important. As a consequence, most statements include implicit meanings, which every fluent speaker understands, This is no different when saying things of the form "X contains Y widgets". If we mean Y or more widgets, we say "at least Y". If we mean as many as Y but no more, we say "no more than Y" or "as many as Y". If we provide no qualifications, we implicitly mean both - "X contains Y widgets" is identical in meaning to "X contains no less and no more than Y widgets".
A more concrete example is describing the number of legs an animal has. A two-legged animal does not have at least two legs. It has exactly two legs - no less, no more. A month with 28 days does not have at least 28 days, but only 28 days - no less, no more.
So the correct answer to the first question (oddly numbered #4, as if the list were a countdown) is 1 or 0 - February during normal years, and no month during leap years.
