想請教點解2001 UG17 及 2001 UX11 兩顆小行星都係同一日發現，但編號分別定為42295 及 64291，而2001 UW13遲一天被你發現，但個編號會定為 64295呢

CK,

42295 was linked to observations as early as 1994, the orbit was much longer and thus was numbered sooner than 64291.

Dear Bill,

It is my delight to see my respectable 唐滌生 is credited for Asteroid 64295.

So far I have noticed three asteroids you named are “7” divisible：

64295 = 7 x 11 x 5 x 167
64288 = 7 x 7 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41  
38962 = 7 x 11 x 11 x 2 x 23

又有疑問啦
小行星2001 UG17的觀測紀錄可追溯至1994年，編號42295
小行星2001 UX11 的觀測紀錄可追溯至1999年，編號64291
小行星2001 UW13的觀測紀錄可追溯至1997年，編號64295
點解2001 UX11編號會比2001 UW13先 ？
