I think mine is two, because I've done the Halifax-London-Hong Kong-Melbourne-Hawaii-Vancouver-Halifax route twice (company trips to Melbourne, where the "all the way around" route was cheapest).
The time I did Halifax-London-Singapore-Melbourne-and-back-the-same-way cancels itself out.

Your planetary winding number is the number of times you have circled the North Pole in total since being born. It's tracked by longitude. It can be fractional. For most people the number is 0 or close to it. If you fly east from the US to Europe to Japan and then back to the US, that adds 1

It doesn't cancel out. It counts the full number of loops. If you stay home forever it stays at 0, but if you go all the way east around the world once and come back to where you were born, it's now 1. Do that again and it's now 2. Go *west* for a full turn of the world and it comes back down to 1

If you travel to either pole you can make some pretty rapid modifications to your winding number by walking around the pole a few times. If you have ever travelled directly across a pole your winding number is no longer well defined

I talked about this at length in the article. I think the game is actually beautiful but it's not a pleasant space to inhabit for long periods
