4. He forgot his pills.
5. "He's just trying to stop it on 1.00 exactly so he can be cool." - Matt
6. "This goes against his non-fighting philosophy but there's an idea that if you can perfectly time a person's actions, reaction times and idiosyncracies, all their attacks towards you will be like an open book to which you know every sentence, word and letter." - Mark F.
7. He's waiting for tea and crumpet time!

17.It could be a project to find the most common number between a certain set boundary.
