Try reading it backwards. 

By a process of elimination I found out why Google Translate detects it as Hmong. In Esrever ni hsilgne tsuj si siht, the words ni, tsuj, and siht all correspond to Hmong words.

Yes.   (Apart from the twin's birthday one, all these came from the TV quiz show 'The 1% Club" some from the Aussie version, some from the UK version.)

The odd one out is Coffee.  The others are the same in reverse if you move the first letter to the end. Dresser  >   resserD     Grammar   >   rammarG  etc.

 

 

What can be placed between 3 and 7 to produce a number greater than 3 but less than 7?

A decimal point.  The reason I chose Uneven is it's the only one to start with a vowel.

Decimal point is correct, Marty. 

 

 

 

 

On a digital 24-hour clock that displays hours, minutes and seconds, how many times in each 24-hour period do all six digits change simultaneously?

Oh, I missed the bit about it being a 24-hour clock.  On a normal clock all digit change when the time flicks over from 11:59:59 to 00:00:00 and again when it goes from 09:59:59 to 10:00:00.  That would be 2.  

 

For a 24-hour clock you'd have 10:00:00, 20:00:00 and 00:00:00.  So 3?

Yes, 3 is right.

 

09:59:59  >   10:00:00     ,   19:59:59 >  20:00:00,    23:59:59   >   00:00:00

 

 

 

I'm all out of brain teasers for the present, you'll have to wait till the next 1% Club.
