The Last Planet

Minjae scoffed. "Yeah, okay. What does that have to do with how we solve the codes?" 

- Man, I thought Minjae was going to be my favorite player, but I'm being proven wrong.

- Not smarter than Zeno, though.

Zeno ignored Minjae, stepping to the orb furthest left—small, grayish, and dull. Below it, a worn, leather-bound book sat on a pedestal. He opened it and went to the very last page.

"244 pages," Zeno muttered.

Annie leaned over his shoulder. "What does that mean?"

"Mercury has a radius of around 2,440 kilometers," he said. "In scientific notation, that's 2.44 x 10^3."

Ari pursed her lips. She loved science and reading books, but even then, she could never imagine memorizing the radius of each planet.
