The packing machines count parts by weight and deliberately overdeliver the lighter parts to make sure they don't accidentally underdeliver. If you look up the set on bricklink.com it will show you a complete list of parts including how many of each are usually left over.

this just reminded me that I've read TWUHB, recently even, but I cannot for the life of me remember how it ends, wtf brain??? Anyway the bits of it that I do remember were really good, and I think I'd have remembered if the ending wasn't? I'm going to have to re-read it now, aren't I?
