(1) How did he know
Bill knew the little girl's name because it was the same as his friend's name. His old friend, to whom he was talking, was named Cindy, and she was the little girl's mother.
(2) The strange sisters
Jane and June Campbell were sisters, born on the same day the same year. But they weren't twins. They were two of a set of triplets. The other triplet, Jackie, was sick that day.
(3) The mystery of the missing fish
The two fathers and two sons who went fishing were actually only three people a grandfather, his son, and his grandson. The grandfather was his son's father, and of course the son was his grandson's father. That makes two fathers. The grandfather's son was one son, and his son was the other. So, if each of them caught one fish, only three fish were caught.
(4) The tennis player
The first and last names are given in the last two lines of the poem. Jane was her first name, What was her last name. The two lines make one complete sentence. And there is a period at the end of the sentence, not a question mark. So the sentence doesn't ask a question. It tells you that Jane was the first name and that What was her last name. Her name was Jane What.
