Legality of getting information [LSJ]

All of the following can happen in tournament, I want to know which is or is not legal in order to obtain info about the decks you're likely to play against in the following games (whether consciously or not) : 1 - your game is finished, you wander among the tables, see who plays what 2 - same as above, but you also look at the mathuselah's hands behind their backs 3 - same as above, and you ask "can I look at your ash heap / library / crypt 4 - same as 1 but your game isn't over yet (like, you go to the toilets and take a quick look, or you can see the cards of the player at the next table) 5 - between rounds, you ask another player "so what are you playing today ? Really ? And your main strategy is (sordid details following)... 6 - you have Auspex, and are able, from your sitting point, to determine exactly who is playing what at all the tables T.I.A., Judge Orpheus (I am the Law !)

hi So I am not allowed to look in somebody elses ashheap? Can I only look at the top card of the ashheap. If so, is a player allowed to rearange his own ashheap? It sounds silly, but heh it could make a diffrence Can I ask a player to count his cards for game-use purposes, like brinkmanship-deck or just any end game? have fun playing, Oortje Yeah Yeah!! sunday 10 Aug: EQ in belgium.
