•How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle?

$200 Billion — because I hate Seattle.

•Design an evacuation plan for San Francisco

Free — make sure all the exist are destroyed and nuke the site from orbit: population evacuation complete.

•How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap?

23 or 24, basically once an hour, it depends on if you're counting 000-2359:59, or 0000-2400.

•A man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune. What happened?

The Federal Reserve inflated money in that time so much it became worthless.

•You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

Use my now proportionally superhuman strength to shatter the blender with a punch — it only said my mass was reduced, not my strength.

You could really measure the "height" of a nickle two ways. When you lay a nickel on a table, its thickness is its height, and would be well below the blades of most blenders I've ever seen. You could simply stand there, light up a smoke and enjoy the breeze.

This is not exactly true. The question doesn't say how many hours it takes your planet to rotate around its axis once. Also it doesn't define the length of the day, as opposed to the length of the night. Those are important details :-)
