I like answer 4. How'd you get 7 and 8?

7. Well, total guess but it looks like an actual clock. If the hand is directly on 3, the other should be on 12. Stupid logic.
8. All the rows seem to add up to 17.
 
6. The number 294 does not belong; every other number in the circle has a 'partner', which is obtained by rearrangement of its digits. For example, there is 563, and also 635. There is 671, and also 176. But there is no partner for 294.

It's all about patterns. Some people see 'em, some don't. I just get lucky.

It's a simple translation cipher.

It makes more sense if the minute hand is on 1. First and second pics indicate there is a 35 minutes difference (assuming first pic is 01:10 and second pic is 01:45).

Someone more...mathematically inclined should probably explain that to you. I mean, I'm just guessing and don't feel like making an even bigger fool out of myself. 😉

I'm still thinkin' about the clock.
