Answer to Question 1

2

Answer to Question 2

The sugar and acid in the lemon meringue pie filling have interfered with the starch gelatinization. Sugar completes with the starch for water, delays gelatinization, and reduces viscosity. Acid hydrolyzes the starch molecule, also decreasing thickness of the starch paste. The best method of prevention, besides making sure the ingredient proportions were correct, would be to add the acid after the starch gelatinization was complete

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
