[Tim Lodge]

My youngest granddaughter suffers from one of the medical conditions
mentioned here - I won't say which one, or whether I'm voting for it, to
avoid giving others any clues. My picks are the elbow wart and the
intestinal weakness:

9, a type of wart usually found inside the elbow

10, a weakness in the intestinal wall.

Lots of medical conditions there, so it probably isn't one - but I'll go with the flow and try 4 and 17.

Seems we have time-of-day figures and a set of links to timezone info, but no
deadline date or day of week. Whatever, too busy to think, so I'll take 2
and 5:
