    Mmkay, I'll give you a hint, take a look at the date. There's something special about part of it.

    Jeez, can't believe it took me so long to get past 1. Number 2 was totally obvious.

    errrgh.
    Is it just one part of the date?
    or does it have to do with the whole thing?

    Okay, if you still can't get the first one, examine the numbers carefully, with math in your mind. No, you don't add them together, or multiple, or divide, it has nothing to do with that. Mmmmmm....

    Dammit.
    I'm still on #1.
    I think I'm looking too deep into it, I even went as far as to convert all the times into seconds. Apparently that wasn't it.

    Don't look at the actual dates, just look at the numbers. The numbers mean something.

    I for one, could use help on part 4. I feel so dumb.

    That was what I got for not paying attention in algebra. I could've listened to the lecture on [answer], but nooooooo. I was too busy making electronics out of paper.

    I thought maybe you were fantasizing about Amanda. :p

    Anyway, number 3. I thought it was a conversion thing, but all the converters make it into even weirder symbols.
