He still has the soft spot because his brain is still growing. If it fused, his brain would grow too large for his skull.

When the time is called for people to marry young, then that happens. Bean and petra got married so that they could (hopefully) have a family before Bean died. Nafai and Luet & Issib and Hushidh got married early in their lives because they wanted to make it official that they blonged to each other. This was also a way to signify that their marriage was permanant.
Think back in the 1700's, poeple got married and had kids and the age of 14 because it was a neccesity, people died earlier. If you wanted to raise a family back then you had to start early.
sry, didn't mean to preach.

His brain is still growing with the rest of his body as if he hadn't hit a 12-year growth spurt yet. What are we arguing about?

I was about to post something 2 minutes ago, and forgot. Now I remember; "The contadiction" of Bean saying he's seven just 2-3 days after the bugger wars and then meeting his parents at age 11 is not a contradiction. Remember it was never certain whether or not Bean would be returned to his parents. He is a ward of the state and the state has the final say so it is entirely onceivable for bean to have stuck around for 4 years (including transportation time and possible time spent on earth before returning to his parents). I also agree that Bean probably thanks to Anton's key still looks Boyish dispite his height.

I've already done that (too much time on my hands). I think I've figured out all but one or two. I was going to start a thread asking who's who, but I thought it would seem like shameless self-promotion since I'm in there too. Posts: 1569 | Registered: Dec 2004

Hey Farmgirl, when you figure it all out, let me know. I think I've got most of them...Carrie, Megan, Shan, Porter, Neo-dragon, Narnia...but then I'm not sure about |demosthenes|, PSI, Stray....and everyone else that helped.

Ha, yeah, right, bet you can't guess who I am...
I haven't actually gotten to see my copy yet, as I had it shipped home-home (instead of school-home). I'm going to the bookstore very soon, however, just to ogle.

There's only one name which I haven't been able to link to a screen-name. Anyone know who Samuel is?
I haven't gotten my copy yet either. Mail's so slow coming from the States. It's okay though, I'm too busy to spend much time reading it right now anyway.

I'm pretty sure that IdemosthenesI is Nathan. He's a moderator at philoticweb.net. He was also credited in Shadow Puppets (though it doesn't say his screen-name there either) for making the timeline comparing Game and Shadow. That is, unless I'm getting him confused with someone else.

I don't even see any posts by T_Smith in this thread. I'm almost positive that Nathan is IdemosthenesI... *shrug*

Hey I'm Samuel Sevlie... My 6th grade teacher (he got me caught on OSC's books a while ago) still can't believe that I'm in the acknowledments.

Finally, the identity of Samuel! Now I can match all of the Hatrackers in the acknowledgments with their screen name. I'm Jason, by the way. My friends were all pretty impressed when I told them. Even the ones who haven't even read Ender's Game (despite my constant nagging). You would think that seeing their friend's name in the latest book would be enough to finally get them to read the series... As it is, only one of my close friends owns and has read every Ender/Bean book at my recommendation, but I've gotten several to at least read Ender's Game.
