More questions

1) Put fundae:
"I think it will stop at 9.4 but you'll never know" said X.
1998 study forecast : 9.37
2009 study forecast : 9.51

2) In 1500s people took their yearly baths in May and so most weddings were held in June. But they used to start smelling a little by June. What custom evolved?

3) Etymo: 1500s again, during the yearly baths, the man of the house would bathe first, followed by the other men, boys, and last came the women and the children. What expression did this give rise to?

1st one is right. X is Usain Bolt. And that was the 100m record.

Others are still open.
2nd one laxmi is close. Think christian weddings.
