"Nine little Indian boys sat up very late, one overslept himself and then there were eight".

Answer: An Indian figurine

They are all staying at Indian Island, and there are little Indians at the center of the table. Each time someone is killed, another little Indian is removed from the table.

14. Who kills Philip Lombard?

Answer: Vera

After Dr. Armstrong is killed, the only one who seems to be left is Vera and Philip Lombard. They both obviously assume that the other is the murderer. Vera gets Lombard's gun and shoots him.
15. Who is the last one dead?

Answer: Wargrave

After Vera kills herself, Wargrave goes into his room and shoots himself through the head. Wargrave, being a judge, is obsessed with justice. He is a little too obsessed, however. He finds 9 people, excluding himself, who have killed someone and got away with it. He invites them all the the island and plots to kill them all.
16. Why did the murderer kill Tony Marston first?

Answer: In the murderer's eyes, Tony was least guilty

The murderer killed the person he thought was most innocent first so that they wouldn't have to go through all the terror of being one of the last ones left on the island. Tony accidentally ran two kids over, so he was the least guilty. Wargrave also believes that Marston is a "danger to society".
17. Who killed Wargrave?

Answer: Wargrave himself

Wargrave originally faked his death by pretending to be shot through the head. After everyone was killed, he went up to his room and shot himself through the head, in the exact spot where he pretended to be shot. Blore kept a journal and wrote down that Wargrave was shot in the head.

The facts would not contradict each other because Wargrave was shot in the head, just later than it says in Blore's journal.

Answer: Marble fell on him

In the poem, the third Indian boy left is killed by being hugged by a "big bear". A marble bear is pushed by Wargrave from Vera's room unto Blore.
19. How many people were on the island when the first of the 'Indian' murders began?

Answer: Ten

The book was published in 1939.
