Earth-shaking Queries

I have a few grave questions that need answering-

1. Are Mentos the favoured brand that mentors chew on?

2. Which are the pens favoured by writers in a 'pen'sive mood?

3. If an emerging economy performs 'sub'-par, does it become a sub-merging economy?

4. Can a Gupt-a keep a secret better than a Khulla-r?

5. Who invented the spelling of Albuquerque (a town in New Mexico, USA), and why?

6. What is the second-commonest name after Smith?

7. How do you convert a Pande into a Deshpande?

You are welcome to answer some or all of these. Or raise a few of your own, that you were afraid to ask.
