also, i've been struggling with number 6... maybe it's a trick question and the answer is simply "no"?
or, maybe it's a trick question in a different way - maybe we flop a made hand and a draw, and our opponent flops a weaker made hand, in which case our equity would increase on a blank turn. not sure if this was the solution you were looking for, but it technically answers the question :)
example:
Hero: Kh Qh Kc Jc
Villain: 6d 6s 4s 3s
Flop: Kd 7h 6h
Hero's equity - 86.5%
Villain's equity - 13.5%
Turn: Kd 7h 6h 2c
Hero's equity - 90%
Villain's equity - 10%
on the flop, we have a flush draw (and top set), our opponent has a made hand (bottom set), and our equity increases on a blank turn
if this isn't what you meant, i'm stumped

i'll go for the most manageable one, pretty similar to no. 1:
7. On how many board runout (types) does KsKcKh9h have the nuts? (Give the board runout (types).)
Straight flush: Th Jh Qh x x
Quads: 999xy with no straight flush possible
999xx where x is lower than 9
Full house: Kxxxx where x is lower than K
K99xy where x and y are lower than K and no sf is possible (we block the 99 quads)
Nut flush: eg. Ah Jh 8h 5s 3c - unpaired board, no sf possible (unless we block it eg. AhJhTh)
Straight: if i'm not mistaken we can never make the nut straight w/ K9
Top set: no straight or flush possible, no pair eg. Kd Th 8d 5s 2c
i think thats all of them!

this is supposed to be available to view for free today, right? doesn't seem like it is..
ah, i missed that full house
as for the straight though, i think you're mistaken - on KQJTA, villain can use any two broadway cards in his hand to make broadway, (eg QT), beating our K9. on KQJTx, he can make broadway with AQ, AJ, or AT
