What's Your Orbital Resonance? (Astronomy Humor) Puzzles

In celestial mechanics, an orbital resonance occurs when two orbiting bodies exert a regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually due to their orbital periods being related by a ratio of two small integers. Orbital resonances greatly enhance the mutual gravitational influence of the bodies (i.e., their ability to alter or constrain each others' orbits). No need to be an astronomer or astrophysicist to enjoy any of these educational scientific gifts featuring the Kirkwood gaps in the main belt of asteroids along with the query "What's Your Orbital Resonance?"
