1 is, as [livejournal.com profile] colinbj said, the diameter in centimetres of lead shot of weight n balls per lb.. It is therefore of use in determining shotgun gauges.

2 is William Henry "Dusty" Hare, with 7,337 points.

3 is, as [livejournal.com profile] wemyss and [livejournal.com profile] camillofan said, Kapil Dev.

The answer to 4 is that no prizes are awarded in the Badwater Ultramarathon, "the world's toughest foot race", covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55c).

5 is a ring of diameter 10 inches at 1,000 yards.

6 is John Rae, the Orkney-born Canadian explorer, for his feat in walking 1,200 miles in two months in winter.

7 is, as [livejournal.com profile] philmophlegm said, a little over 102 feet.
