Outfield wall with flat top. Fly ball is hit to outfield and hits front top corner (edge) of the wall.

1) Ball goes out of play. Home run? Ground Rule Double?

2) Ball comes back onto playing field. Home run? Ground Rule Double? Playable?

3) Ball bounces up (assuming you mean a grounded ball), hits flat top of wall, goes out of play. Home run? Ground Rule Double?

4) Ball bounces up (Same assumption), hits flat top of wall, comes back onto playing field. Home run? Ground Rule Double? Playable?

I got lazy and bolded my answers.

I believe that the entirety of the top of the fence is treated the same as the face of the fence.
