Answer 1

Add position:relative to #container and position:absolute to inner divs.

You can combine common properties with comma, like

#bottomright,#bottomleft{css properties}

CSS:

#container {
    position: relative;
}
#container > div {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    background-color: black;
    position: absolute;
}
#bottomright, #bottomleft {
    bottom:0;
}
#topright, #topleft {
    top:0;
}
#bottomleft, #topleft {
    left:0;
}
#bottomright, #topright {
    right:0;
}
