26 Only two of the jurors' real names are revealed, and that doesn't happen until the very last scene of the film. What are the two names?
Answer: Davis and McCardle

Juror 9 follows Juror 8 outside of the courthouse and asks his name right before they part ways and the film ends.

Hagen and McClusky would be from "The Godfather", Palmer and MacReady are from "The Thing", and Rooney and Maguire are from "Road to Perdition".
27 What was the female eye-witness doing when she witnessed the murder in the apartment across the street?
Answer: She was lying in bed trying to get to sleep.

It is a key feature of the argument that the female eye-witness was actually "tossing and turning" in her efforts to get to sleep. Under those circumstances it is highly unlikely that she would be wearing eye-glasses. If proved to need them her evidence would thus become unreliable.
28 What was the name of juror #8?
Answer: Davis

Davis and Mcardle (juror #9 played by Joseph Sweeney) were the only jurors to have their names disclosed in the movie.
29 How is the evidence of the female eye-witness called into question during the discussion in the jury room?
Answer: The old man on the jury noticed marks on the side of her nose.

The old man on the jury, played by Joseph Sweeney, comments that the marks on the side of her nose could only have been caused by eye-glasses. She was a vain woman who did not wear them in court. She would also not have worn them if she was tossing and turning trying to get to sleep. For the juror played by E.G. Marshall this allows him to declare that he has a reasonable doubt, and to change his vote to "Not Guilty". It is perfectly possible that the woman got the marks from wearing sunglasses, or that she was long-sighted. However, the woman's eyesight has been called into question, and this shifts the balance of possibilities in the accused's favour.
30 Juror #8 bought a knife at a pawnshop in the defendant's neighbourhood. What was the cost of the knife?
Answer: $6

Juror #8 bought the knife to prove that the defendant's knife wasn't as unusual as before thought by the other jurors.
