When Bruno writes "I've got it figured out", he means:
When Bruno writes "I've got it figured out", he means:
Excerpt: The time difference between Africa and the States always confuses me, but I think I've got it figured out finally!
Bruno is not expressing that he has made a drawing or diagram to help him understand the time difference. In this context "figure" is not being used in this sense, but rather as a verb to indicate that Bruno has "understood" the time difference.
To "watch one's figure" means to be concerned with one's weight or appearance. This is not what Bruno is expressing.
When Bruno writes that he has "figured out" the time difference, he means that he understands it, not that he is confused by it. Bruno does write that he finds the time difference confusing, but he is expressing that now he understands it.
The expression "to figure (something) out" means to "understand" or "to solve a problem". Bruno is expressing that he now understands the time difference between Seychelles and California. "To figure out" is a common expression, used in many contexts. For example: "I've figured out the calculus problem", or "I've figured out what I want to do with my life--I want to join the circus!"

1 shelves: A "shelf" (or "shelves" in the plural) is a flat surface used for storing or displaying objects (or merchandise). In this text, Philip notes that Cheryl Mackenna has offered Delavigne 6 months of "exclusive exposure on Sheik Jafar's shelves", meaning that Sheik Jafar will "only" carry Delavigne deodorant in their retail stores (and not any other brand of deodorant). We can also assume that Sheik Jafar will promote Delavigne deodorant in an effort to sell more units.
2 figure out: The phrasal verb "to figure out" is a common, informal expression which means "to understand", "to resolve" or "to determine" something. In this text, Philip writes that he is trying to "figure out" whether or not Cheryl is still single. Philip wants to know, or to ascertain whether or not Cheryl is romantically involved with anyone (if she has a boyfriend or girlfriend).
