Samus Aran. By the way, Metroids are the first enemy she had to fight, she's never been called "Metroid".

...and I hated those games Nintendo never got a hold on me, I prefer western RPGs and old PC glories like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, Monkey Island, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Indiana Jones, Full Throttle, Rama...

Ah, so you're a silent-tree-falling-in-the-forest supporter.
The trouble is that you've got to define "small".
Every little piece that broke off in the atmosphere landed somewhere - possibly quite slowly, because friction would absorb their inertia.

Evil laugh[^]! The universe is complete. Have a good 24 hours, everyone!
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Speaking of candy, how about some Sugar[^]?

BOOK WORM
On the shelf there is a book of two parts. The first part has 972 pages (not including cover, but anything else), the second has 864 (same)...
A curious worm ate itself thru the book starting with the front cover of the first part and until the very end of the back cover of the last part...
How many pages it perforated on the way?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Pages would still be the sum. Pieces of paper would be half. Unless of course it's not an original book and someone like me prints two pages to a page in landscape mode. So pages could be halved, assuming one wormhole per paper and it didn't backtrack, and papers would be quartered. This also assumes that no other pieces of paper exist between the two books.

No tricks, no backtracking, no extra pages - but I do not think your answer is correct...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Yes. But no...
He forgot the covers, but simply adding them will not give the right answer...

It said ignore the covers.
|
|
|
|
|
It did not, it just said a book has n pages, not counting the cover. If you mistakenly consider a cover to a page of a book, then the puzzle implies you should include covers.
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't. It said # of pages not including the covers. I said it's the total # of pages. I didn't actually give a number. So if he wanted to include the covers, he can. But in the end, his answer was zero, so the covers where not included as I surmised.

Book covers are not book pages.
|
|
|
|
|
A real oldie - the two book parts you noted are adjacent to one another on books "properly" shelved.
If you don't count the covers as pages, the answer is "none".

And for my prize, I seem to recall that there's a Halavah stall in one of the markets (Machane Y'huda, perhaps?) - A kilo of their finest, assorted, will do for a start.

Yes - and do you mean I went through all of the time and expense of answering the question for free? That's crazy.
