You could well be right mafia but my answer is 27 months. Clue here is in the 3 and 9 your looking at thirds and ninths and returning to a straight line. It’s a simple 2d quiz which has a specific answer. The orbital image is just to get one focused in an entertaining way on a mathematical puzzle. You may be right in your conclusion but what if a meteor hits one of the satellites? what if one of the satellites breaks down? What if space junk hits one of the satellites? What if the sun dies? The questions just go on and on.

I cant see how this is correct – think about it , if one satellite ( the faster one ) takes 3 years to orbit the earth then using common sense it must take at least 3 years before it begins a second circuit  in order to lap the slower moving one  and line up with it again.

4 years  8 months later  or accounting for  fluctuations  in time dilation relativity 4 years 7 months 30 days 23 hours 56 minutes later  as a minimum due to the slower moving object  effectively encounter a differing period of time contrary to the faster one (  theory of relativity ).

In answer to the question , what was the first number one of 1950 , the answer would be there wasn’t one as the charts hadn’t begun. Just looking when I started my chart journey and it was indeed 1952 so early fifties not late fifties

Thats the beauty of youtube, every hit from the beginning of time is on there meaning the days of buying cds/cassettes isn’t necessary anymore. You simply download it to MP3 format and it’s stored on your computer indefinitely .

I’m going through every top 40 hit from the beginning of time at the moment and have been for the last few months. I basically find the hit on a site called ” everyhit.com”, search for it in youtube where every one  lies bar one I think and listen to it noting down the decent ones. I started when the charts began ( uk) in the late 50s and am currently at May 1965 . everyhit.com has them all on- song title and artist. Needless to say it’s a long road to the present day and a load of crap mixed in with some decent tunes but satisfying knowing as each month progresses I’m getting closer to colour tunes and my favourite decade ( 80s) I’ve probably listened to around 4000 – 5000 songs so far with a shortlist of around 120

Problem is with the cassettes they all get chewed up , mine did anyway . My first one was michael jacksons bad around 1988 I think- an old black and white coloured one

I’d sooner have threads like this rather than people starting threads in caps lock about someone calling someone a ” name ” in a chatroom with the logs to prove it. These threads  at least provide some mental stimulation whilst other conversations  would lead to the brain of an inebriated  chimp to enter the stagnation phase.

After considering your 100 door analogy, your logic is sound. It’s divided Maths PHD students so no wonder it’s up for debate on here. Mr Q I would say dracs 100 door analogy proves we are talking bollocks , second time tonight for me after the “tap ” question.   It’s a truly bizarre scenario but the logic is irrefutable , switching doors increases the chance of finding the car. The only way of testing anything is to apply it to a different number and you would have to be stark raving mad to say the chances of picking a door with a car out of 100 random doors is 50/50 by removing 98 leaving 2 staying with your original choice. I tip my hat to you again drac
