Values in time range and TCP intercept and beyond

Hi guys, I believe that you have already discuss this topic several
times, but since I'm new here i have to ask you again, since I have
encounter differents opinion about this.
the question is about the values when using time-range, TCP intercept
and some other similar values, here is the thing, I have been study from
different vendors IE, netmasterclass and the use different in their guides.

example 1: an exercise say configure you router to start closing TCP
session after they have EXCEEDED 1000 and if the ammount of connections
fall BELOW 500 start accepting connections again.

in this case for me the keywords are EXCEEDED and BELOW, the value for
exceeded is 1001 and the value for BELOW is 499, but in the guides are
1000 and 500 straigth

Example 2: block traffic from HTTP from 8 AM to 5 PM.

i this case with the use of TIME-RANGE acl, the start time will be 08:00
and the end time will be 16:59 (when you press the ? the help says that
the en time is the begin of the next minute). but once more i find in
the guides that their using 08:00 and 17:00 values.

I now that this could be find "LAME questions" but I will take the LAB
in 15 days and dont whant to loose point cause of this.

Recomendations of what values to use?

Best Regards
