----------------
 =~ 31.5
---> 31 & 32

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
If STANDARD numeration of pages is used (page 1 on the right side; then pages 2 and 3 follow facing up;
then pages 4 and 5 face up), then pages 31 and 32 will NEVER face up to a reader simultaneously.
In this sense, the problem is DEFECTIVE.
Pages 32 and 33 can face up to a reader;
pages 30 and 31 can face up to a reader, --
but NOT pages 31 and 32.
I just saw similar problem at this forum long time ago, and accompanied it with similar note.
================
Open any book from your bookshelf and make sure that I am right.
