4. A stamp? The corner is the "standard" placement for a stamp, but is there a law that forbids to put it in the center? And also, a stamp does not necessary travel the entire world. I might send it to my neighbour.

5. A fire
6. The shadow
10. The stars

Edit: I just saw that Bilbo got number 10 right, but it could have been stars as well
