I don't want to disrespect the deer when asking about another detail that appears to be far less significant, but still is making me curious: Robyn was three minutes early to pick up Wade, and consequently waited two minutes and thirty seconds for him emerge from the building to board the vehicle. Thirty seconds seem to be missing in this calculation. Is it because (a) anything up to 30 s doesn't count as waiting, or is it because (b) there is a rule not known to others saying that Wade is always 30 s ahead of a schedule, especially when the goal is getting out of work ;-) --Zb 09:16, 19 January 2013 (EST)
- I guess it just means he left the building at 17:39:30, escaping from work half a minute earlier than announced. --Calamus 10:13, 19 January 2013 (EST)
- I emerged from the building 30 seconds before the pickup time because I went straight to my motorcycle, locked my helmet to the bike and took my snow pants out of the pannier before getting into the car. This action was expected to (and did) take 30 seconds. I may have left the building 30 seconds before the expected pickup, but I was exactly on time. ---Wade 12:22, 19 January 2013 (EST)
