1)If a world was Downsideable and someone tenner'd it an afterlife, could the world be made Downsideable again?
2)Since a tenner looks like "two starfish kissing" I suggest renaming it kiss, is this likely to happen?
3)Should there be a shortening for "what kind of coin could do X?"? I declare it "How much for X?". Feel free to change.
4)How many Liters of water can one square handle?
5) Is Kaja a Griffin? Where is her original story?
6)How much for a teenager to not have zits (now or ever)?
7) Will Bells fix their kids' zits?

1. I'm not sure if being tenner'd an afterlife would make it stop being Downsideable in the first place. It might depend.

4) I think previous estimates have said a square can handle a car but not a house. Getting any more precise than that is probably not possible.
5) She is, but I believe she only exists in various sandboxes. The very first sandbox with her is, I relieve, the one with Darren.
6) I would guess square, given that one could permanently make you smell like vanilla and this seems easier. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took a pentagon, though.

2. Collision with the arm implants in Samaria.

5. Kaja is "a Griffin" in the sense that if Glass looked at her she'd declare her so but the continuities won't intersect ever. Her parents and older sister died of a Medieval Disease.

6. Pentagon.

7. Bell's kids are so warded up they probably don't even get them, but if they do, yes, on request.

2) What about starburst/burst?
9) How much for a virtual reality/simulator p. ower that includes others?
10) How about a subspace pocket (like in the infinite loops)?
11) A pocket universe which you/others can hide in?
12) Video game stats (energy, food, etc.)?
13) All sense illusion?
14) What happens if a wish is too small for a coin? Is there a change equivalent? Does it do the thing more powerfully? Is it just wasted?
15) Is "conjure just-dead body, give brain an electric shock" a valid resurrection? If not, what goes wrong?
16)Can you wish for "make the illusion that will make X happiest"?

14) Unless you designed your wish cleverly, the default is waste.

8) I think you forgot a number
9) That probably depends on the details of the power; I could see that ranging from hex (for a basic power similar to Sandy’s in Eos but with a more controlled environment) all the way up to tenner (for an actual subworld)
10) A Bag of Holding would probably be a pentagon; a power unattached to an object would probably be a hex
11) That is definitely a tenner; see the new Alethian afterlife
12) What exactly do you mean by this?
13) I think that’s a hex power that Stella gave herself, or a square for just one. Does not fool magical senses, though.
14) You can also wish for “do X as strongly as this coin can”, but in general if you wish to be nuke-proof and the coin could have made you antimatter-bomb–proof, you wasted your warding wish.
15) I don’t think you can conjure a body with the brain intact with just a square. In any case, I imagine it would be if they were the kind of dead that responded to an electric shock (it would not have worked on Shell Bell), but it might take two coins.
16) Probably, but I expect it would be pretty complicated.

12. I think he means 'become terrarian or similar'
