The worm only eates the front cover of the book on the left, the back cover and last page of the book on the right, so in total 3 pages
#77 I have 2 books on the bookshelf, standing side by side, just like the books in a bookstore. The book on the right would have had twice as many pages as the book on the left, if only the book on the left had 5 more pages than it does now. The number of pages in the book on the right is not only a perfect square, but a perfect cube as well, and is less than 500.
A bookworm starts eating at the front cover of the book on the left (Eating it), and eats all the way through the last page of the book on the right (Eating it as well). How many pages did the bookworm eat?
(5)HINT: its a riddle, start thinking like its' one
It never mentioned the back cover. So, it's 2 pages: the front cover and the last page.
