Hints go from gentle to obvious. Nothing is revealed until you tap it, so you can stop as soon as it clicks.

The puzzle

The fourth planet from the Sun takes a certain number of Earth days to go around it once. Give that number of days, unless it is not the case that you want to play, in which case also give it.

💡 Hint 1

The fourth planet from the Sun is Mars.

💡 Hint 2

Either way you give the same number, so the “unless” changes nothing.

🧭 The real question

How many Earth days does Mars take to orbit the Sun once?

🔓 Answer

687 days

Source: Wikipedia, “Mars”: orbital period about 687 days.
