    - Office does not seem to need any significant cpu at all, you can remove it from list of single for single cpu as well.
    - Flash games are multithreaded now (from flash ver 10.1 i believe), particularly in Opera they use more than 2 cores.
    - Same for simple browsing. Developers use worker threads in JS or regular web sites, and you even don't notice that. Chrome opens (usually) tabs in new process. You can always open Opera new process manually. IE9 is highly multithreaded. All that used in simple browsing.
    - occasional games. It is like occasionally playing Crysis, right? OK, the more cores the happier it is.. Or flash games, again, more that 2 threads utilised in Opera.

    Bottom line: forget about single core (and even dualcore) at all!
