well Jack I cudgelled the old Math/IT major brain (what's left of it) and here are the answers:
1.Wilson: NO. Zero. He gets fired becomes an investment banker gets a federal bailout package and retires with a 20 billion dollar retention bonus.

2. Jethro hasn't played a note for 3years 4 months and 17 days. The sympathetic vibrations from the other three basses transmitted through the floor have made his bass resonate enough that no-one has noticed. If they do no problem, Wilson has offered him a job at the bank

3.Wilma:8757.78151260507 - this is an approximation

4.Horace; Zero. The first concert he attends will feature Beethoven's Pastoral, Eine kleine Nachtmusik and the Requiem by you know who.

5.Betty; she will start to use a mute, be congratulated on her delicate touch and be promoted to leader of the viola section. Then all members will start to use mutes - end of problem. no one will notice.

6. Ralph: Harvard Medical School and JAMA publish research that coffee is good for you. Ralph lives to be 103 but the brass section members are all fired for bringing beer onto the stage. They are replaced by the Ukelele orchestra of the UK. Concert attendance increases by 783% in 2 weeks.

7. Rosemary (of the 3 sharps & flats): 147 years,7 months and 28 days assuming they practice 6 hours/day 6 days/week, 51 weeks/year AND no hitherto unknown manuscripts by R Strauss are discovered.
