Savoir que + subjonctif?

In the phrase "...parce que je savais que nous nous en souviendrions pour le reste de notre vie," why is se souvenir conjugated in the Conditional? I thought a verb following "savoir que" had to take the subjunctive, especially since it is not a known fact.

Connaître meaning

The question: Conjugate connaître (to meet) in the passé composé.

The answer: I met Leila at University = J'ai connu Leila à la fac.

I thought connaître meant "to know" ? I can't find any references to it meaning "to meet".

"They bring their computers."The sentence, as it stands in the subject line, appears not to be unique in English. Apart from "ils amènent leurs ordinateurs." could it not also be translated as "ils amènent ses orinateurs"? The first one meaning that the computers belong collectively to the group whereas the second option connotes that each one of the group brings his own computer. Or is the second option plainly wrong in French?

Why is this not in the subjunctive form?C'est vrai qu'il est un peu nul. Since this is an opinion wouldn't it be "qu'il soit un peu nul."

Lag time on second questioni had several instances where tapping normally would not go to second question but increased tapping bypassed it altogether so I got a not completed score. Why is that?
