Hello, is there a name for these 7 new planets ? funny : isn't there anybody that had the idea to name them after the 7 dwarfs ? That is : Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy ?? well, maybe it is not suitable for a planet's name. Any other inspired suggestions ?

Is there a theory that explains why 8:5 has a larger basin of attraction than 7:4, say?
Jim Propp
[...] ? contfrac(8/5) [1, 1, 1, 2] ? contfrac(7/4) [1, 1, 3]
So at least 8/5 is closer to the most irrational value, (sqrt(5)+1)/2: ? contfrac((sqrt(5)+1)/2) [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
To the cont-fractionists on this list: is the implied measure of irrationality by comparing simple continued fractions OK?
Best regards, jj
