Answer 1

Of course it's impossible (at least on the plane). It's merely another way of stating the four-color theorem.

Answer 2

As Pascal said, it can't be done in a plane, at least a Euclidean plane. In a plane of an elliptical space (the surface of a globe, for instance) you can do it by cutting the globe into four quadrants and sticking a fifth area at one the intersections. I think they've figured out how to get six or seven on a torus (doughnut).

Answer 3

Try a pentagon or hexagon. You can draw 7 hexagons and 6 can border the 7th/ center one perfectly.
