    I'm in the US. The summer solstice marks the start of summer for the great majority of the world, but there are a few countries like yours where it starts on the 1st.

    Clue did do that, but it wasn't in secret. The movie listings in the paper would show which ending was showing at the various theatres.

    That's really low. I'd be very hesitant to trust that. Especially for pork.

    Everywhere I look puts tamales at between 150-300 calories each, depending on which protein is used. So if you had 12, that would be waaaaay more than 1300 calories.

    Induction is indeed the best, but a typical gas range is not better than a radiant electric stove ( glasstop or coil). Typical boil times for 2 quarts of water on a gas stove is 8 minutes. It's 6-7 on a radiant electric. 90 seconds for induction. The 30 minutes he described is definitely not normal though. Either they were using one of the simmer burners, an extremely large pot, and/or it was a really underpowered range.
