#6 Correct also.
---------------

#4, #7 and #9 to go!

7-Who discovered Neptune and when?

John G Galle and Heinrich d'Arrest of the Urania Observatory in Berlin sighted Neptune on 23-Sep-1846; it was mathematically discovered or predicted by John Adams the year before, as per Jabberwock above

so both answers are right ..

Neptune's existence was independently predicted by the English astronomer John Couch Adams and the French astronomer Urbain Leverrier. They based this prediction on the slight deviations of the motion of Uranus from those predicted by Newton's laws and the known planets; from this they hypothesized that the deviation was caused by an unknown planet and predicted its position and mass. Adams did the calculations first, but they were not properly followed up on by the British Astronomer Royal, Sir George Airy, until Airy heard about Leverrier's calculations. Airy then started a search, but by then Leverrier had had a German astronomer, Johann Galle, search for and immediately find Neptune. The entire situation resulted in a fierce controversy about credit for the discovery, tinged with patriotic pride. Today Adams and Leverrier are given equal credit for the prediction. As noted in the text, Galileo himself seems to have unknowingly sighted Neptune and even marked its changing position while observing the moons of Jupiter in 1613. So, depending on your defintion of discover, the answer could be Galileo, John Couch Adams, Urbain Leverrier, or Johann Galle.

Galle is the one I was looking for.

Sorry! I should have made myself more clear
by asking who first sighted Neptune!

4. The main tributaries of the Saint Lawrence are the Ottawa, Saint-Maurice, and Saguenay rivers from the north, and the Richelieu, Saint-François, and Chaudière rivers from the south. So 6 main ones probably many more minor ones though

There are 350 "officially" recognized tributaries of the Saint Lawrence River.
