That a cool pattern. I didn't know that they went around that fast!
I knew it was planets orbiting from 88 and 365, but I didn't actually know how long each took... difficult
I should have questioned the 365 and thought a bit more, but I just like hitting the answer button
Very good - you need to be knowledgable to get that one.
very good, the only reason i had an idea was for no reason whatsoever, i happen to remember that mercury takes 88 days, and then the 365... so i didnt techniclaly know the answer, but i knew how to get it, i was just too lazy to google how long it took jupiter to orbit. good one
very clever!!
i thought it might have something to do with elements or something, but i really had no idea
