Vulcan males are supposed to undergo Pon Far once every seven earth years.
At the end of STIII Spock is back to his original age ~64.  I would expect
he would have undergone Pon Far ~7 or 8 times on the genesis planet but he
seems to have balled Saavik only once.  Of course, they might have done
all 8 at one time.  Vulcans are supposed to be notoriously difficult to
surprise (superior hearing etc.) but Kruge caught Saavik napping.
