What starts with a ‘P’, ends with an ‘E’ and has thousands of letters?

I move very easily, I am gooey, If you touch me I’ll leave a substance behind. What am I?

In spring I look gay, Covered in a green array, The warmer it gets the more clothing I wear, As the cold grows, I throw away my clothes.

Craig died in Florida. Shortly after, Tracy died at sea. Nobody mourned, In fact, everyone was absolutely delighted. Why?

Did you hear about the one with a broken hearing aid?

Answer: Weigh a group of 3 balls against another group of 3, then you'll know which group of 3 contains the heavy ball. Pick 2 balls from that group and weigh one against the other.
