      He is (almost always) stored as a high pressure gas, so phase change doesn't really matter. (Helium doesn't turn into a liquid at normal air pressure until only a few degrees above absolute zero, -269 C or so.) The reason it can float the balloon but not the tank is that in a balloon, there's a lot less helium for the size (the density is lighter than air). A metal tank can have a much higher density because the metal itself is holding the pressure in; if you tried to fill a tank that's not as strong (or has a break, or even as a balloon) it would explode, dramatically.

      Windsor is about 24 km (15 mi) westward from the TM house. As Josh said, M4 literally goes westwards from Chiswick, the district of London where the house is. For comparison, Frank managed to take the boulder to Feltham station, which is about 10.5 km (6.5 mi, also westwards) from the house.

      Unless you personally know someone in close proximity with the equipment right at hand, or play the celebrity card really hard, there's no way you could even move a real boulder that size an inch in an hour. It would weigh a ton (literally), and even getting it out of the garage before getting it onto a truck would be a real job. I suppose they could extend the time limit, but at that point the task would essentially be: "Find the fastest, most competent work crew to move a boulder", which I suppose would be interesting for some people, but not inherently funny.
