Well, I think I've now got in sorted out in my head! Do we therefore now
all agree that:
(a) 'my' definition of 'a revolution' (360 degrees) is actually the right
one to use
and
(b) using that definition, the answer should be '4'?
If that's the case, I guess that (as has been suggested) the problem
probably arose because, somewhere along the line, either explicitly or
subconsciously, someone involved in designing the question 'mis-typed' a
decimal point, instead of a comma, between the '4' and '5' in the list of
answers.
Kind Regards,
John
