Answer 1

5x pointer of pointer of int. You can do this as many times as you want. But that is useless, although possible.

More closely to hardware more magic becomes for me. Assembler is incantation.

Answer 3

This all works good.
printf("%d\n",*****p5);
printf("%d\n",*(****p5));
printf("%d\n",****(*p5));
What's this?

Answer 4

More over, this also works good.
int* q1 = &a;
int* q2 = &q1;
int* q3 = &q2;
int* q4 = &q3;
int* q5 = &q4;
printf("%d",*****((int*****)q5));

This approves duck test lol. Think its just pointers.
The magic lies in the order of referencing and dereferencing operations.
