Q: What is a Good Pasta Number™?

AurideThis puzzle is inspired by JLee's What is a Word/Phrase™ series and the subsequent "Number" variants. (Actually, I'd originally tried to create a more original puzzle using the same idea, but it turned into another one of these. Sigh. Maybe the types of numbers given lend this somewhat more novel...

@msh210 this is THE LITTLE PRINCE. It's indeed a book partly about aliens (I skimmed the plot on Wikipedia; I confess I've never read it), and it's THENCE (from there) with LITTLEPRI* ("Till Tripe"'s digested) encompassed (comprehended).
02:22
@oAlt precisely so. Nicely found; I’d thought that that one might last longer
ahhh very nice

Prim3numbahWhat's the phrase I'm looking for? Note: The specific colors I've chosen is not important.

@oAlt Thanks for the typo fix - that's a lifetime of playing Pokémon interfering with the spelling there!
15:15
@Stiv hahah, no problem

(Unrelated to Pokémon, but when trying to solve another puzzle recently, I was surprised to learn that the astrological sign is Scorpio, but the corresponding constellation is Scorpius.)
17:23
@MOehm not Scorupi?

Q: A FEW figures (literally)

Prim3numbahWhich option corresponds best to the missing figure? Explain why.

18:04
@AncientSwordRage I see what you did there.
(But I had to do research.)
18:53
@MOehm that's reasonable
Well, I had an inkling what to look for.

BOYCOTT is a protest, in a way. It has BOOT (kick out) and Y (NY with opposition backer N leaving), but other than that, I can't make it work. NK could be the outside of New York, but boycott isn't usually written with a K.
@MOehm Plus 'OUT-sider' could feasibly clue (-ou)T, so it's just the C to resolve...
Hang on the 'C' is from (-n)YC - you've got it
Oh, I'd never have thought about the lift-and-separate outsider.
(and you should take the next one rather than me because this is my one day between two holidays, and I've been deliberately avoiding getting involved in the CCCC because I can't guarantee I'll have signal while camping!)
A ninja without signal is a good ninja :)
@oAlt With a massive leg-up from Stiv: BOYCOTT ("protest, of sorts") = (n)YC ("New York" City with "opposition backer" = N leaving) inside BO.OT ("kick out") + T ("outsider" separated as "(ou)T sider")
(It's "in a way" instead of "of sorts". Never mind.)
@Stiv Thanks. Enjoy your camping holiday and the missing signal.

Q: Is it possible to have 4 or 5 solid colored faces in an unsolved 2x2x2 Rubik’s cube?

Will Octagon GibsonMy mother is trying to solve a 2x2x2 Rubik’s cube. Sometimes she can get one face solid colored. Sometimes two faces and even three faces. Is it possible that she could get 4 or 5 faces solid colored and still not have completely solved the cube?

21:13
@MOehm Haha, thanks :) As long as I have enough at some point to pick up a few geocaches I'll be happy!

Q: Now I've boxed my ABC's

dan04Well, almost. Can you figure out my letter-classifying system, and where to put W, X, Y, and Z?
