PrintLost in the Vines Prediction Contest Master List

Follow along with the Lost in the Vines Prediction Contest!
We have a lot of new Lost in the Vines readers thanks to Newsvine's recent acquisition by MSNBC, so some readers may not be familiar with the Lost in the Vines Prediction Contest. I introduced it as a way of staving off the absence of Lost, presenting 10-12 new questions each month for contestants to give their predictions. Each question is worth a point, and all tallied there will be 108 questions in all. The winner will receive a Hurley figurine or an engraved plaque.
More details can be seen at the introduction article.
But now, the questions have been asked! More questions are coming each week to accompany each episode, and some contestants and contest-watchers have asked to see the Master List to track them as well. With nearly 100 questions already, I can't say I wouldn't welcome the help in tracking the responses. So below is the Master List of questions, with answers given in bold-green font. See if you caught any I didn't, and at the end of each week's episode feel free to hit this article and chime in. I'll be updating with answers as I find them as well as the new questions for each week's episode.
Remember, I may be wrong about some of these, and if you can point out a mistake I'll accept it. Also, some of these questions have more than one answer, so even if the question has been answered already there may be more information later this season that makes an additional valid answer.
UPDATE: Anyone wishing to contest an answer in this list must do so by midnight on Friday, June 6. After that, the answers are official and responses will be graded according to that list.
Have fun!

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Obligatory tracking comment!
I don't really have a lot to add to what I said above. Just that it might be fun for the whole LitV community to keep an eye on this article and comment as you see new questions being answered. I think a lot of them, particularly the "will Character X die?" ones, won't be answered until the final credits of the last episode.

Thanks Steve, it will be fun to play along. My answers and results so far:
5. Jack - correct
8. Kate - wrong
17. Mikhail - wrong so far, but may turn out to be correct by the end of the season.
23. Hurley - correct
29. none, I missed Part 3 - wrong
36. none, I missed Part 3 - wrong
38. No - correct
47. Locke - wrong
50. none, I missed Part 5 - wrong
68. Kate - wrong
72. No - correct
85. 6 - correct
93. 4 - wrong
So I've got 5 out of a possible 13. Well .385 is pretty good for a batting average, but probably not anything near a winning pace for this contest.

Alright guys, here it is. The complete list. I filled in all the answers tonight to the best of my (exhausted) ability. So let this serve as the week marker. It's just after midnight right now on Friday, May 29. Any disagreements with answers must be registered by midnight on Friday, June 6. That's the hour that Thursday crosses into Friday, not Friday into Saturday, mind you.
I invite anyone who noticed answers I didn't, but I have to set a deadline for it. After that point, whatever answers are here on the big board stay and I start grading the responses according to that list.
