It could very well be that there are people for whom 2 is easier than 3. When it comes to social confidence different people have different issues.

The exercises had that order in the source from which I took them. For myself 3 was much harder than 2.

The reaction I got on day 1 didn't differ much than the reaction I got on day 2. Most of the time people don't care that much about yourself. If you ask them for the time they either don't want to spend any time, don't have a clock or they do the easy thing of just giving you the time.
