1 :: What is the hottest place on earth?
The hottest air temperature ever recorded on earth:
In 2005, the Lut Desert in Iran at 70.7° Celsius, which is 159.26° Fahrenheit.
Previous to this on Sept. 13, 1922 El Azizia in Libya 57.8 °C (136°F)
Previous to that: Death Valley, California, USA, where it got up to 57.8°C (134°F) on July 10, 1913.
It is very likely that temperatures have reached higher than this in places on the earth, however, the lack of meteorological equipment and people to read said equipment in the hottest areas of the earth means that it has gone unrecorded.

10 :: What is the easiest way to remember compass directions?
The earth rotates, so the sun is shown to appear rising on the east part of the world as we see it. No matter which way you are facing other than up or down, east are the morning sun, and west are get ready for nighttime. On the other hand, assume looking at the globe being on a clock with it being sown as a normal world instead of upside down or other abnormal configuration. 3 are east, 12 is north, 6 is south, and 9 is west.
