Blue

wish people would stop writing brain teaser and start writing ambiguously worded question in the title.

anyway, to cover as many bases as possible. yes, you could fit a period of time that is under 60 seconds into a year, however, an entire year is not less than 60 seconds on any planet i know of*. i cant think of a single natural object that could orbit any star in under 60 seconds and stay in a stable orbit

*unless you define a second as 1/86400th of a day on the planet in question, and the planet in question has a stupendously long day

ah, so you were trying to go for the "you can fit a period of time shorter than 60 seconds into a year" angle. the first bit of my answer covered that

Because there's only twelve seconds in a year... January the second, February the second and so on

Because there's only twelve seconds in a year... January the second, February the second and so on

How about twenty second of each move.

Clever, but silly.

That's a riddle, not a brain teaser.
