How does Hamlet show his complete contempt for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who are old schoolfriends of Hamlet's are called upon by the king to spy on Hamlet in order to find out what is bothering him. Hamlet, however, figures out why they are there, gets them to confess it and tells them what he guesses to be their business. He then lets out some vague and quite misleading hints as to what is on his mind (the "what a piece of work is man" speech.)

Why did Shakespeare make Hamlet in Denmark?
Shakespeare set Hamlet in Denmark because that is where the story was set in his sources. He took the story possibly directly from the source story by Belleforest who had taken it from Saxo Grammaticus. In both those sources Hamlet is prince of Denmark. Even more importantly, scholars believe that there was a previous play drawn from Belleforest and possibly by Thomas Kyd also called Hamlet the Prince of Denmark, which was very well-known and thought to have been considered to have been a bit corny. To have written Hamlet Prince of Bavaria would have looked as ridiculous to his audience as Holmes and Watson being based in Las Vegas instead of London.

In Hamlet by William Shakespeare Yorick has been dead for 23 years Hamlet knew him when Hamlet was a child Hamlet is 17 this makes no sense?
Who says Hamlet is 17? The gravedigger says (V,i, 150) that he started work as a gravedigger "the very day young Hamlet was born", and later (V,i, 164) "I have been sexton here, man and boy, thirty years". Which means of course that Hamlet is 30.
