ALT1 ... that Project Y designed an atomic bomb in which 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal explosive lenses (depicted) compress a solid plutonium sphere? E Eng
This ALT hook is fine with me. Seems that some people don't realise you can compress a metal sphere. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:25, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Everything is good to go. I personally prefer the original hook, but have no problem with ALT1 either. The issue noted with citing is because there is a math formula in the section, the other two either were never problems or have been fixed since. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:18, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
