Take a look at the the Ax-Grothendieck theorem!

comment zeta(3) in terms of derivatives of zeta at 1/2 and pi
In the question, the result is checked to $10^4$ digits, which seems more precision that 500!

comment Enriques classification of algebraic surfaces
The second question seems easier. The assertions $K$ nef and $K^2=0$ imply that if a multiple of $K$ moves, then it maps to a curve. Combining this with the inequality on the 12th plurigenus gives you the result. I am not sure how to proceed in the other case: you would need to know something similar to $K^2=0$ to proceed in a similar way.

comment Noether-Lefschetz over finite fields
(Though let me add that the Picard number over the ground field might be odd, so you could refine the question.)

comment Noether-Lefschetz over finite fields
K3 surfaces over finite fields have (geometrically) even Picard number: not much hope for Noether-Lefschetz for quartic surfaces!

comment Kodaira dimension of symmetric products of curves
If the Jacobian of the curve is simple, then all its proper subvarieties are of general type; in particular the symmetric product of the curve is of general type, until the Abel-Jacobi map is surjective. By deformation, I would guess that the same is true for all curves, not just the ones that have simple Jacobian.

comment Resolution of singularities of this cubic surface?
It seems that your surface the Cayley cubic: there are a lot of interpretations of the Cayley cubic!

Ok, now I see why my example is not a counterexample!

comment Rational groups
Btw, possibly I am confused: is your $g$ in the normalizer/centralizer formula an $x$? Also, by a $p$-element do you mean an element of order $p$ or of order a power of $p$?

comment Lines on degree 2n-3 Fermat hypersufaces
The Fermat threefolds contain several one-parameter families of lines: partition the variables into two sets of size 2 and 3 and set them separately to zero. You obtain $10d$ families of lines in this way. Of I recall correctly, these are "non-reduced" as soon as $d$ is at least 5. You can find out more in papers by Albano-Katz and more recently Candelas and others.
