No problem, it saves me having to think up another question

Have a go Thargoid....I must have pipped you by a split-second and your answer was more comprehensive than mine.
Also, I've done a few lately and am short on ideas.

OK, how is the NCC-1864 better known, and who was her first officer?

No good - try something that can't be (so easily) googled!

P.S.: Khan might not have been the best 3D strategist, but how come the Enterprise had to "surface" before opening fire instead of just aiming?

I'd remembered it was the Reliant, but I'd forgotten that Chekov was the officer in question...

The honour of this thread is doing it without Google

Anyway MdF gave the full answer, including the secondary question...

Which character has appeared in the most books in the original series that features the planet Arrakis?

Commander Smivs · Post by **Smivs** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:30 am

I'm guessing that it's Paul's sister Alia

(No Googles were used in making this guess

)

It's the swordmaster and his clones, I think he appears in all of the books... I just can't remember the name.

EDIT: Disenbodied remembered.

Duncan Idaho, I'd say.

Duncan Idaho? (no Googles etc!)

Thanks, guys... since you've complained of starting to get short on ideas, I''l put the next one:

What is the name of the aliens who more-or-less offhandedly prove Fermat's conjecture, call it a dumb problem - and then go surfing?

Mauiby de Fug · Post by **Mauiby de Fug** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:54 am

Correct - 'tis Duncan Idaho. He's the only character to appear in all of Frank Herbert's original 6 books. He also appears in some of the prequels/sequels written by the son and someone else...
