At the end of Primer, there are two Abes and at least three Aarons. Box-Abe tells not-narrating-Box-Aaron that he's staying to watch over everyone and to sabotage not-Box-Abe's Box so that he and not-Box-Aaron eventually give up. How is this supposed to work? Does Box-Abe not remember violently drugging his other self and locking him up for days? Does he somehow think the other Abe and Aaron won't remember anything of their experiences, and won't find out that other versions of themselves have been doing things in their absence? The obvious conclusion they would come to is that the Box works, and they will use it.
In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.
