If you filled up the inner-ring of Saturn with Hula-Hoops, how may packets would you need and what percentage of the area would be left as holes :question:

14,254,225 packets. You'll have 3 Hula-hoops left over.

63.54% would still be left as holes.

I have a way with numbers.:D Some people even say I'm gifted.:I:I

Ah well wait a minute to be able to calculate this exactly. Sorry Andy but you've jumped the gun a bit:p which ring of Saturn are you referring to.

1.st The inner ring ???
2nd The inner ring from the cassina devision ???
3rd Or on the outer ring is it the inner most ring of that.???

as it all make a differnce re the circumference.
