comment Do you always spawn on sand?
I suspect that you don't spawn on sand, but rather at a certain surface height (as Nick T and Ronan Forman point out, so that you are close to land and water), and that height is usually sand.

comment Artificial Lake Minecraft
Actually, you will be able to swim in the lower layers. The condition for a downward current is NOT that the block is not a source block, but that the block has open space beside it. (Yes, I tested this.)

comment What's the maximum number of bones needed to tame a wolf?
If you're interested in the mathematics of it, the number of bones needed (assuming it works as badp says) follows a geometric distribution.

To expand on Tobias Kienzler's comment: The Digging page on Minecraft Wiki now has info about the precise effects of tool and block on mining speed.

comment Minecraft mechanism to separate merged carts?
Polt: Your designs were helpful beyond just knowing that water could split carts, though, as I spent a while playing with them and considering how to speed them up; and the 2-deep-starting track beyond the water was a definite inspiration too.

comment Minecraft mechanism to separate merged carts?
Success! I got yours working, but it was too slow to feed my cart stack into it, and my idea about detecting merged carts didn't work very well, so I invented a different solution — but your water splitting idea is the core of it. See my answer.

comment Minecraft mechanism to separate merged carts?
OK, I've played with this a bit, but haven't quite gotten it to work reliably. Do I correctly understand that the water-and-one-double-booster component should suffice to split the carts into two carts on one track, and the later jammed-carts-and-door is just to send back the unwanted cart? (I will be busy today, but I'll get back to this within the bounty period.)

comment Is it possible to power all the blocks in a wall?
Kevin Y's got one idea, and there are probably others.

comment Is it possible to power all the blocks in a wall?
Repeaters have a specific direction, so you can make a row of them 'towards' the blocks, but they can't be stacked vertically.

Then you're not doing it right :-)
