  • It was a poor attempt at humour, apologies.  In reality, I just googled the answer myself, with the assumption that 1 year was the orbit of the Earth and the expectation that's what most people would do.  You are of course correct that rounded to hours a full orbit is 1 yr + 6 hrs.

    Quote
    Earth revolves around the sun in 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds. The time a planet takes to revolve around the sun is called a year.

    Updating the answer to be more accurate would certainly help keep the spam bots at bay, but would it be too big a hurdle for the average user?  I'm sure there a better question that's too tricky for bots to parse, but understandable for humans.  Do you have any suggestions?

  • Good thing we were allowed to look before registering. Been trying to set this up for longer than I'd like to admit.
