Great, simply great, Casca! I had exactly that picture in mind when I first saw the testudo post but I could not find it on the web... - but how do the legionaries at the front corners manage to handle their two scuta and a spear at the same time?!

If you go to The Official Asterix Web Site and click on the English Celt drinking tea in the upper right corner, it will take you to the English version.

Not to mention that there are 5 shields and 6 spears in the front line.

You don't understand Roman math. 
 
First convert V et VI to base-10. Then you look up the tangent of the angle for the third decimal place and divide by 8. 
 
Now if we plug the result into the Quadratic Formula (where 4ac equals the sum of your total soldiers in the testudo), you will see that V=VI!

E EM 
 
At least the extra spear compensates for the missing umbo.
