1. Your name, since you are the pilot
2. No color. There are no stairs in a one story house
3. Heroine
4. An egg
5. He was walking
6. Everyone on the boat is married

#1: my name, which I won't say for privacy
#2: the intended answer should be 'no stairs', but there could be the workout stairs machine or a basement (not sure if that counts as a story)
#3: this one's good! I couldn't figure it out but I saw Stewart's answer. You wrote world on the fourth line instead of word, though.
#4: Intended answer is probably egg, but this isn't necessarily true like to test a parachute
#5: He was walking (or he bribed them lol)
#6: Another answer is that he has a blindfold or something of the sort. Not sure if this is the intended or not, but maybe he can't see a single person because no matter where he looks, he sees multiple people? Also, if we assume he's a person, then he should be able to see himself in the water's reflection.
#7: No idea.
#8: I hope they didn't bury the survivors
#9: Drop it at 41 meters, or give it a parachute/or similar thing
