This is just a fun thing to see if you can think of an answer. I'm not sure if there is a right or wrong answer, but answer to the best of your ability.
1. Do the Death Note work on animals, or the rules clearly state "The HUMAN whose name is written in this Death Note shall die"?
2. If you use white out on the Death Note is that edited page still usable?
3. If you use white out on a page in the Death Note, those whose names where written on that page, will they be affected?
4. If you write in the Death Note using pencil, can you errase a name and before 40 seconds are up and the person whose name was writen in the Death Note still live?
5. If a non-human finds the Death Note and is able to communicate with the Death God (Shinigami) do the rules still apply to this non-human?
6. If there is a Death Note, does this mean that there is a Life Note?

4. Actually, there is a way to stop the Death Note. Mark two straight lines through incorrect letters. This was mentioned in one of the eyecatches. Dunno bout the eraser though... I doubt it would, but who knows.
What I want to know relates more to the series (and plot errors) than the Death Note itself (that means spoilers kiddies):
7. To kill a shinigami, one must make it fall in love with a human, and prolong that human's life by killing their killer. Does this mean that having L or Watari alive would actually kill Misa? Is that even possible, considering how Jealous added his life to hers, and she took the eye deal?
8. In an eyecatch, one of the rules reads that if a name is misspelled four times, the Death Note takes no effect. Does this mean forever? (Could you immunize yourself by intentionally misspelling your own name?) And if this rule is true, then Light's second kill, Shibuimaru Takuo, could have never happened - he wrote over thirty different spellings of the man's name.
9. What if a person and their parents were illiterate and never wrote the person's name? (tribes, tiny mountain villages, etc) How could you misspell it?
10. Is the 23-day rule true? That was only the maximum amount that Kira had ever controlled someone... could you write someone's name seconds before their actual death and then control them for the rest of their life? (...logically, this makes sense)
Great post, btw. Very thought-provoking

I got out my Death Note with the How to Use and answered as many of these as I could. xDD
1. Do the Death Note work on animals, or the rules clearly state "The HUMAN whose name is written in this Death Note shall die"?
I think that if it says 'the HUMAN' then this pretty much speaks for itself. xD
2. If you use white out on the Death Note is that edited page still usable?
I think that the page is still usable, but the white out has no effect, seeing as white out would have no effect on anything.
3. If you use white out on a page in the Death Note, those whose names where written on that page, will they be affected?
I don't think so, no. The only way to erase it is with two straight lines and this only works with the conditions and time of death, not the name. A new condition and time of death would also have to be re-written within the 6 minutes and 40 seconds or it'd just be the same as writing the name and leaving them to die immediately of a heart attack.
4. If you write in the Death Note using pencil, can you errase a name and before 40 seconds are up and the person whose name was writen in the Death Note still live?
I don't think so. No, they can't. 'The time and condition of death can be changed, but once the victims name has been written, the individuals death can never be avoided.'
5. If a non-human finds the Death Note and is able to communicate with the Death God (Shinigami) do the rules still apply to this non-human?
Non-human? The world of Death Note is an otherwise realistic one, I don't think you'd get any aliens or demons getting a hold of one. :/ But I imagine that yes, the rules would still apply to a humanoid of any kind, as they apply to any user of a death note, whether they're shinigami or human. I don't think it'd be able to KILL a non-human, though, seeing as it specifically says 'human' in the How to Use.
6. If there is a Death Note, does this mean that there is a Life Note?
Probably not. There are death notes because this enables the shinigami, who're essentially like grim reapers, to do their jobs. There is no such thing as people coming back to life or as zombies, so I doubt there would actually be a Life Note. ( Assuming that death notes were real, anyway. xD )
7. To kill a shinigami, one must make it fall in love with a human, and prolong that human's life by killing their killer. Does this mean that having L or Watari alive would actually kill Misa? Is that even possible, considering how Jealous added his life to hers, and she took the eye deal?
Misa's lifespan was significantly shortened because she did the eye deal twice, so even if Jealous extended her lifespan before, that would've been halved and halved again by the time Rem died. The reason that Rem died when writing L and Watari's names down was because they had already begun to suspect Misa again - it was obvious, the killings started again as soon as she was released. And since this was so obvious, it no doubt would've resulted in her getting arrested and possibly the death penalty, hence why L and Watari, the ones who would've known this for sure, being alive would've shortened her lifespan further. Killing them would've meant that suspiscion of Misa and the possible death penalty would've been erased, and her lifespan extended. I think that answers it. D:
8. In an eyecatch, one of the rules reads that if a name is misspelled four times, the Death Note takes no effect. Does this mean forever? (Could you immunize yourself by intentionally misspelling your own name?) And if this rule is true, then Light's second kill, Shibuimaru Takuo, could have never happened - he wrote over thirty different spellings of the man's name.
'If a Death Not owner accidentally misspells a name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if they intentionally misspell the name four times, the Death Note owner will die.'
'The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a Death Note.'
Further rules on the misspelling one. So basically, yes, it does mean forever. ( I think ). The second kill could've happened because it was possible that Light wrote down the name correctly within the first four times he tried writing it, I believe. You could not immunize yourself because you would die if you weren't genuinly misspelling the name.
9. What if a person and their parents were illiterate and never wrote the person's name? (tribes, tiny mountain villages, etc) How could you misspell it?
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. u_u; What if a person's name had never actually been written before? I'd assume that it would still appear in a certain language above their head, visible by the shinigami eyes. A person with the eyes or a shinigami could kill them, but I guess a human without the eyes would have a high chance of misspelling it and immunizing them. Every name has ways of spelling it, though, even if it's never been written by the person. I'm not too sure how it'd work with a death note. :/
10. Is the 23-day rule true? That was only the maximum amount that Kira had ever controlled someone... could you write someone's name seconds before their actual death and then control them for the rest of their life? (...logically, this makes sense)
It says that 'You cannot kill humans with less than 12 minutes to live'. So if you were to try and take control of a person before they died, you'd have to time it pretty perfectly. Apart from that, I'm not really sure, it is quite logical. :/

:/
So then you could have someone else misspell your name intentionally so that you would be immunized. That could be useful, if you wanted to kill the person anyway, kill two birds with one stone as they say. If Light had thought of this, he totally could have gotten Misa to do it.

7. You answered this, but what I originally meant was how is Misa planned to die, each time her death date changes? My understanding is that the eye deal is made between a shinigami and a human, in which the shinigami promises to kill the human halfway to their death. If the shinigami died (Rem!) then the promise could not be fulfilled.
But, if a shinigami dies for a human, and their lifespan is added on to the human, then how is the human's original death avoided?
(This can't really be answered, because it defies logic, but shinigami do that in the first place.)
8. Shibuimaru's name was misspelled many more times than four. The rules do not clarify which four must be misspelled.
9. We could go all logical (again) on shinigami and Death Notes and state that language must be agreed upon by all parties in order for communication to occur. We can also state that writing and speech are separate ways to communicate, and are only related because we say they are (first statement). If a person has no written name, they should be immune to the Death Note.
10. You didn't answer the question (which was the first sentence). I did word one phrase ambiguously, which is what I think you saw. "...could you make someone die seconds before their actual death..." would be better. As in, they die at 6:24 p.m. in ten years, and you write 6:23 p.m.
We also could just assume that, being human, the author is not perfect and left a few plot holes. (Though I know we all hate to...)

That could be useful, if you wanted to kill the person anyway, kill two birds with one stone as they say. If Light had thought of this, he totally could have gotten Misa to do it. That seems pretty logical. Light's name would've been fairly easy to misspell too, I think. I'm not entirely sure how it's written in Japanese but I do remember Misa saying something about how it's written as 'Tsuki' but pronounced 'Raito'. I don't claim to know how to speak or write Japanese though, so I could just be making an assumption there. But if that would've been possible; stupid Light. xD zaybex I can fight those explanations, try again icon_cool.gif 7. You answered this, but what I originally meant was how is Misa planned to die, each time her death date changes? My understanding is that the eye deal is made between a shinigami and a human, in which the shinigami promises to kill the human halfway to their death.

7.) I could be wrong but I don't think that the shinigami necessarily kills the person half way before their original death. My own knowledge on the whole shinigami and Death Note user deaths is a bit weak, I've never really been too sure about a lot of it. But the way I see it, I don't think that the shinigami do all of the killing in the human world, I think that if a human makes the eye deal then that could mean that they die of 'natural' causes at an earlier age as opposed to being killed off by a shinigami. The actual lifespan I suppose is confirmed by fate as opposed to the shinigami, it's up to them whether or not to shorten it. But then now while I write that I think a bit more about the eye deal and how it is deal between the shinigami and the human rather than a tradition made by some outside force, so this might not bit right so I've just buggered up my own argument. 8D! xD
ANYWAY, maybe it depends on how much lifespan the shinigami who died has? I mean, if we were to say that a shinigami dying for a human transferred their own lifespan, then suppose Rem had decades left to live, and the was transferred to Misa? Same goes for Jealous. And at this point my mind has gone off on a tangent and I've forgotten what I was trying to say.
I am failing epic-ly today. Srsly, it's like 12:30pm here only it's so dark outside it feels like its about 5am, so I'm still really sleepy. xD
8.) True. I suppose maybe this happened before the author thought to write more rules? xDD
9.) I guess that argument could go either ways. I mean, no one really apart from the ones who invented the world of DN would no for sure how this kind of stuff works. It could be that those without a written name are immune, or it could be that everything is written in an agreed language, even names that haven't actually been written.
10.) Oh, right. Sorry. xD I would assume that you could, but you'd have to know exactly when they were going to die ( and if the 23 day rule is true, write it down within 23 days ) which is fairly unrealistic. Even with the shinigami eyes, I think the lifespan is written in shinigami time ( even if it's actually just random numbers ), as Ryuk mentions something about converting it to human time at one point, so a human wouldn't really be able to know exactly what it meant. But whether or not the 23 day rule is true I guess none of us can really know, since it was never tried in the manga/anime. :/
I'm not saying that the author is perfect, 'cause I've always noticed the imperfections and plot holes. When I first read through the How to Use I immediately picked up on Taku's death and was like '... That doesn't really work.' but it's fun to try and figure this stuff out for yourself. xD

Oh, I like that about Light's name, I totally forgot about that! He could be all like "Write my name down four times, right here, Yagami Raito" to a random stranger and be immune!
All of my questions were kind of unanswerable (I've tried to answer them myself), I really just asked them in order to get people thinking out of the box. (L wanted to test 23 days, but that was never a FACT, only an assumption, something L should have realized)
I'm using 7 and 10 in a fanfic. AU, naturally. biggrin

11. Shinigami are obviously not recorded on camera (for anyone). Does this mean they are completely invisible to the camera, or, if you have touched their Note can you see them on a recording? (Logically, it doesn't make sense for one to see a recording any different. But we have established that shinigami defy logic)

I think it's possible that it could work for a human, either that or it would just have no effect and nothing would happen. But if a shinigami were to write that, I think they'd die, seeing as how it's extending the original lifespan.

Yes, that would extend the lifespan... which would make the Shinigami die if they had feelings for the Human.. correct?

WARNING: SPOILERS
1. It only works on humans.
2. No. You must write directly onto the paper. (Just like using a sticker with someone's name on it will not work.)
3. No. It clearly states in the rules that there is no way to avoid a person's death once their name has been written and you can only change the conditions of death by striking out the previous conditions with two lines and then writing a new set of conditions. (Or no new conditions at all, for a heart attack.)
4. No. Only a Death Eraser can remove a person's name and prevent them from being killed. This, however, is ONLY canon in the pilot chapter, as the final rule at the end of chapter 108 clearly states that once dead, a human cannot come back to life. (In the pilot chapter, the Death Eraser was used to revive people killed with the Death Note who had not yet been cremated.)
5. Define non-human.
6. Yes. It's called a uterus. Every woman has one. xp Other than that, I don't think so.
7. First off, a shinigami does not have to love the person, only favor them. (Example, Ryuk favors Light, so if he had killed L for Light, he would have died.) On to the actual question: having L alive would have killed Misa, however, Rem knew that Watari would pose a significant threat in the near future if he wasn't eliminated. Watari's death would also have caused Rem to die, even if she hadn't written L's name as well. As far as how that works, Jealous' lifespan was NOT added to Misa's, he simply extended hers by killing the man that intended to murder her. Misa still had a very human lifespan, it was just a bit longer and thus she could still halve it by making the eye trade.
In response to the rebuttal of caffeine add!ction's explanation for 7: The human's life is NOT cut short by the shinigami writing their name in the notebook. That is not how the deal works. The deal simply takes half the human's life span, it does not in any way control the way in which they die. Where did you even get that idea in the first place? rolleyes
8. Yes, you could become immunized, but not if you write the name all four times yourself -- there is a rule that states if you do this, you will die. So you would need someone else to write your name incorrectly the fourth time. The issue of Shibuimaru is adressed in volume 13 and it's made clear that Light spelled the name correctly near or at the top of the list. (And he only wrote it six times, as far as I am aware, but I'm also going from the manga.) Thus, the correct spelling took effect before the incorrect spellings did and Light didn't die because he was not intentionally spelling the names wrong. You only die if you do it intentionally.
In response to the rebuttal of caffeine add!ction's explanation for 8: His name was spelled correctly within the first four times it was written. Therefore, as explained in volume 13, the Death Note took effect.
9. So long as it is spelled in what would be the correct way for that language, it would be considered correct.
In response to the rebuttal of caffeine add!ction's explanation for 9: Isn't the logic of this the point? And that's not really logical, that's convenient. Logic states that most, languages have a way to write the sounds. If the people in question didn't, then I would agree with you. However, it sounds like you're grasping at straws here because who would bother to use a Death Note on someone like that? What threat could they possibly pose and how would their testimony be in any way damaging? After all, illiteracy lends to a lack of credibility. (Note: Not being prejudiced, just stating fact. An illiterate person is generally viewed as a stupid person, even when this is not, actually, the case.)
10. Yes the rule is true and no, you can't control someone if they only have seconds left to life. They must have more than 12 minutes of life left for the Death Note to work on them. The 23 day rule also only applies to conditions in which you set more than just the cause of death -- if you set the cause as a disease but set no time of death, the person will die from that disease in the future, however, you cannot control their actions.
In response to the rebuttal of caffeine add!ction's explanation for 10: Either way, my answer stays the same. Yes. You can control them, and yes, you can kill them seconds before their actual time of death and control their actions beforehand so long as it is less than 23 full days after the name and conditions are written down.
11. It is unconfirmed as to whether or not shinigami can be recorded. We have not, to my knowledge, seen any scenes in the manga or anime from the perspective of a person with the ability to see the Shinigami looking at footage. (And yes, this does include volume 8 of the manga, where we see security monitors covering areas in which a shinigami is moving. It does not, however, make it clear if anyone is able to see the shinigami on the recordings in Mello's base. Obviously the taskforce can't see the shinigami because Sidoh had not regained ownership of the notebook before they had. This is evident by the fact that Sidoh had to touch the notebook before anyone who had already touched it could see him.)
12. No. There is a rule specifically prohibiting that.
