You really need to put the bong down, recall...
I was waiting for recall to be clear enough with his "fake poor english" replies until he could not weasel out of it. So recall is actually now saying there is not just ONE anomalous body (Niburu) but TWO of them (Niburu and "Dark Companion").
And of course, according to recall, no one but "The Powers That Be" has noticed the affect these TWO bodies have had on the earth's orbit (or any other body's orbit for that matter). But wait, the story gets even more impractical as recall spins it:
Recall now wishes for us to believe that these two anomalous bodies are also constrained in their motion to be co-planar with the earth's orbit around the sun. (BTW, that fixes at LEAST one orbital element, possibly two, with this stipulation)
But that is not the most amazing thing of all. Somehow, according to recall, he can define a dynamics problem that consists of FOUR bodies operating in the same plane, and he only counts 2 Degrees Of Freedom (DOF). Clearly, recall does not know what he is talking about. Even if you constrain each body to only planar motion, recall, I am afraid that is going to be 2 DOFs PER BODY.
Your 2-DOF problem is really an 8-DOF problem. Or, at the very least, a 6-DOF problem if you make the (incorrect) assumption that the sun is not in translational motion.
But once again I will ask recall (and notice how he ignores these questions and does not answer): Please define what you believe to be the orbital elements of (a) Niburu and (b) Dark Companion.
And I will tell you (again) that you can NOT define orbital elements for these bodies that will also meet the stipulations you have put forward already.
