Mer=1
Ven=2
Ear=3
Mars=4
Jup=5
Satur=6
Ura=7
Nep=8
Plu=9 (planet or not)
then (Ven+Ear)*Nep= (2+3)*8 =40
and (Jup-Mer)*Plu = (5-1)*9 = 36; September 4, 2008 10:28 PM

Euclid's Brother said...: Since pluto is now classified as a Dwarf Planet (aka plutoid), then the other Dwarf Planets must be considered too.

1=Mercury
2=Venus
3=Earth
4=Mars
5=Ceres
6=Jupiter
7=Saturn
8=Uranus
9=Neptune
10=Pluto
11=MakeMake
12=Eris

Therefore, even the first equation doesn't work.. it should be 45.

Also, i'm not positive of the position of MakeMake.. it's possible that it's a little closer than pluto, so they would be swapped.; September 5, 2008 7:37 PM
