brain fart?

You got it. =P

A light year is 5.9x10^12 miles and Alpha Centuri is 2.5x10^14 miles away. If your friend stood on the surface of Alpha Centuri and waved, how long would it be until you could see it from the earth?

As you use the word 'if,' you imply a hypothetical situation. Much like if a rooster laid an egg on the top of the roof. It's not about the realm of possibility, as the hypothetical assumes that the situation is possible and happening.

wait four minutes

I don't think that would be actively "changing" it as much as it would be passively "waiting for it to change."

Convert it to base 6.

Crawfish?

Black Widow, Tarantula, and some gray poisonous spider

I think you're intending for them to all be a part of the answer. I'll give it to you, though.

Black WIdow

Group of three -- American Black Widow comes in three species (Northern, Southern, and Western)

With watch near, -- The hourglass shape

Gray then black -- Infant widows are gray.

Wise man's fear. -- Self-sustaining.

An easy mark -- Widows generally prey passively.

We slowly slay, -- Death is generally not quick.

Steadfastly bound

By toxic pain. -- Refers both to the way the widow holds envenomed prey as well as latrodectism, the most common symptom(s) of a widow bite, which can include joint pain, muscle cramps, paralysis, and death (among a great many other things).

Our name we share -- The name "Black Widow" is shared

With another three, -- with three more species (European Black Widow, Redback, and Katipo)

But a hundred-some more -- Most of the 120+ spiders in genus Steatoda

Attempt mimicry. -- are mistaken for black widows and have earned the name "False Black Widow."

When all of us three -- Take three spiders

Align on the floor -- put them together

Our limbs will total -- leg count =

Four more than a score. -- 24.
