If you've got the question, these apps will tell you the answer to life, the universe and everything...
1. wikiHow

Packed full of step-by-step DIY and craft tutorials, this is the place to go for a hands-on project. Thousands of makes include gadgets, gardening, cookery, keepsakes and clothes, and it's easy to add instructions for your own creations, too.

5. How To Tie A Tie

10. iKamasutra
