Rokicki seemed to think he could add a pair of planets at once, but that is not clear to me, maybe his flexing-based argument only allows him to add 1 planet. (Rokicki curx paragraph which may be wrong: "At this point you just insert the larger planets of the two Somsky gears; they are guaranteed to mesh with the sun and the outer planet, so you are done." Really?)
--on second thought, I think Rokicki is justified in this claim. So therefore, sun+antisun+4 planet scenarios with exact meshability are indeed available in profusion if BOTH the two planet-pairs obey Somsky's flexibility condition individually. -- Warren D.
