I woke up about 5 minutes ago, so forgive me if I make some stupid mistakes.
1. Not sure you need calculus for this one. By "the area of the space" I'm assuming you mean volume? And I'm assuming the canister is cylindrical.
Volume of cylinder: pir^2h, where h is the height of the cylinder.
Volume of tennis ball: Spherical, so it's 4/3pir^3. => Volume of 3 tennis balls: 4pir^3
Height of cylinder, assuming the ends of the canister are tangents to the curves of the outermost tennis balls: 3D, or 6r. Volume of cylinder is therefore: 6pir^3.
Volume of space unoccupied by balls: 6pir^3 - 4pir^3 = 2pir^3.
2pir^3 = 2pirr^2 = piDr^2 = Cr^2 (where C and D are circumference and diameter.)
2. A few questions before I start this one: firstly, by "a quarter" of the way up, do you mean in terms of displacement or distance, or in some other way? And are we considering gravitational or frictional forces, or treating this as a non-physical scenario where the example of the cyclist and the hill is for convenience's sake?
3. So, we know they won 21 games and lost 61. Other than that - and this is probably just another example of me being incredibly stupid this soon after waking up - I think we need more information. Maybe it'd be possible to set up a general equation if I thought about it, but deciphering the specifics would be a case of trial and error, I think. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong and I'll have a proper crack at it.
4. I agree with MDK. For some people, it's a life-changing experience that does them an enormous amount of good. For others, it's the most miserable and damning experience they'll ever have. It only suits certain personality types, and you have to really be aware of what you'll sacrifice to do it. If you feel it's for you, go for it - but put some very long, hard, careful thought into it before committing.

Not sure, but isn't it a trick question? We have no way of knowing what the "correct" answer is. The probability of choosing a probability at random... maybe I just need to put more thought into it, but it seems a trick question.
The BBC is most definitely somewhat biased, though it's not as bad as the sensationalist, prejudiced, speculative crap I've seen on my (admittedly brief) forays into American news sources. Sky News is usually pretty reliable, I think, surprisingly enough.
I agree with the sentiment that every news source is biased though. It's impossible not to be. There are rarely any straight facts - it's all down to interpretation. I've just read a paper that re-evaluates every single statistic from another paper with the opposite view. They both drew completely separate conclusions by interpreting the data differently.

I'll just tweet Obama that there's oil in Ukraine and watch the sparks fly.
I'm disappointed that the only joke I can make is the sort of one non-political people make to try and sound political.

Brah, turtles live for like 150 years, he's still like a babby.
Happy Birthday, Turtleton.

That's not something I define as mathematics or actual physics. It's a layman's explanation of the facts. That, of course, I adore and indulge in plenty.
Can I ask how you define maths and actual physics? Or rather, where the line is drawn? The way I see it, 2+2=4 is as fundamental and real as any complex concept a mathematician could come up with. The layman's explanation might be simplified, but it's no less true (assuming good reporting, that is.) I only learned the mathematics of why applying force to open a door at the hinge has less effect than applying the force at the outer edge, but even without knowing the maths, just knowing where to most effectively apply force inherently contains core knowledge and comprehension of important physics concepts (that was a clusterfuck of a sentence, jesus.)
