In the BSG Miniseries we see a entire squadron of Vipers be disabled by the CNP so, why wasn't the raptor also disabled?
I do not remember much, but I think two main characters were siblings and there was some game to play and/or place to enter. The catchphrase I remember:
You must be 13 if you're a girl or 21 if you're a boy.
Ensign Babyface Commander William Riker is a known poker player. We often see him playing with officers under his command. Most of them are aware of his bluffing skills. Isn't it pretty obvious for them that he is bluffing most of the time? Or isn't he?

If you're muggle-born how do you get your acceptance letter to Hogwarts if it has 'muggle repelling charms' on it?
How, for example did Hermione Granger get her letter and how did she reply to it?
So all wizards get an invitation to Hogwarts at 11... How do they know whom to invite?
If a wizard is Muggle-born, then nobody would know about their existence.
Or do they register some weird magical stuff being done by them before 11?
Theoretically if two lightsabers clashed, couldn't one of them quickly switch on and off to ''phase'" through the other lightsaber and insta kill the opponent?
Mobile site top bar is design-less:

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone there is a part where Professor Quirell informed everyone about the troll in the dungeon at hogwarts and probably fakes his faint.

I'm trying to identify a book and the series it was from, I read it on holiday and I believe it was a late entry in a long running series. All I really remember about the story was that the main character was male, and had some sort of epiphany while on a mountain near the end of the book. I thin...

Here is a review that outlines the plot.

A series of young adult books I read as a child in the 90s.
The basic storyline, I think, is that Earth came under attack by alien ships that feed off our photon cannons, and they steal a family, possibly a ruling family. They also steal the sun. The children who were taken away are made to grow...
According to Emmett's answer, an Edit action on a post immediately dequeues it from the close votes queue. But why? That doesn't seem very productive. Just because someone edits a question doesn't necessarily mean it's no longer close-worthy. It seems more prone to abuse, as a user can just make ...
