Science
Can you name all 11 Planets? Yes, 11.
This interested me very much- not because some kid came up with a- in my opinion- lame mnemonic device for remembering the planets, but because of the planets they've included.We all know about Pluto, and how it is a [dwarf] planet, and how Ceres and Eris are either asteroids or dwarf planets as well. I found it interesting that science (be it popular science) has decided to include these in the list.
When I was a kid, there were 9. Then they took Pluto away, and labled it a bastard. Now, they add two more, also labled bastards- but atleast Pluto has someone to relate to now!

Was the contest to come up with a mnemonic device that's nonsensical enough that it's almost as hard to remember as just remembering the planets? If so:

That's 1000 light years away between Omicron Persei 7 and Omicron Persei 9.
