There's still one thing that bugs me, why is the first letter of 0nly a zero? Is it related to the answer?

how is the number of words and letters a useful hint when you dont even know what direction to go with the answer

Yes, much smaller.
Why, the 2nd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary lists 171,476 words; that's not including the 47.156 obsolete words and roughly 9,500 derivatives.
That makes 228,132 words in total. Now, the total possible combinations of words for question 3 is somewhere in the range of, uh, 52 billion? Let's just round it out to a neat billion. Oh, and of course there's also a number you have to include along with those two words. Since numbers are infinite, I suppose the number of possible answers to question 3 could be written like so (I am no mathematician):
52,000,000,000∞
Those are some nice chances.

this is the most stxxid excuse I have ever heard ! I dont care how many words there are and that numbers are infinite ! Its obvious that I haven't made infinite questions before and including question 3 so was a matter of reading it.
Once you do that correctly you will see that the answer perfectly fills the question leaving no space for other possibilities and you can check about it just asking the people who got it. And as far as I know was something around 6 people.

Is number 1 the only one that needs punctuation? And is "lair" a typo?

If you collect hats you've said the answer to Q1 plenty of times.
As for the others, no idea. We'll have to wait.

Could you explain question 4 a bit more? After you waited/lived after the second trip, how could you use the time machine again? You already used it once to the past, and once to the future.
And why couldn't you go further to the past to wait/live again with the 4th trip?
Also, one thing I seem to be confused with, does the time machine just sends you? Or do you and the machine time travel together?
Comment has been collapsed.
Together ! Notice that by crossing any travel line would cancel the travels.
That is why you can not go to the PAST > FUTURE > PAST because going the second time to the past means undoing the future travel. Its easier to understand using the draw (just do not cross the lines) =)

I don't agree with you. The answer entirely depends on which time travel theory you believe in. In my interpretation, the answer is either infinity or 1. Partially supported by the Many Worlds Theory,
-You can travel to the past as many times you want as in your first loop, since the "pasts" you arrive at are slightly different from before, so you "canceling" theory does not apply.
-Since the past you arrive at is technically not "the same" as the past you have lived through, you can only travel to the future, assuming that the time machine you hold is the only one in existence, past, future, and present.
Edit:
After thinking about it a bit more, I still don't understand your logic. Because you specified it was the reader who was time traveling, from his perspective, time travels cannot cancel. Perhaps if you're a third party, only watching from the sidelines, you can conveniently "cancel" time leaps, but not from first person.

I am not an exception ! I agree with all you that question was confusing and could have many answers according to the different theories thats why i made the hints pretty easy for this one to have sure everyone could have the answer i made but trying not to lose its fun =)
Sorry for the next one i ll spend more time in questions like that
