I posted that option as an answer purely for people interpreting the question as "how many times does the earth rotate around the sun in a year?" It is of course, not correct. It would be, almost correct for strictest definition of year which is 1 exactly. But for calendar years it is either slightly greater or slightly less than 1. Note of course there's no point in saying "at least once" if once is an incorrect answer, that is to say the number of rotations on the earth's obit per calendar or orbital year is far greater than, and can never equal one.
It would have been correct if I had worded it as "about once".
I did not want to select the right answer as, previous to the poll being presented, I had already stated that I know the answer.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
