The worm period is the number of minutes in a sidereal day (23h56m4s or 1436.075mins) divided by the number of teeth.

The bigger the worm, the more teeth, the shorter the period.

Let's use 1440 mins (24 hrs) as a round number.

No Worm..............Period
..Teeth.................(mins)
100......................14.36
144......................9.97
180......................7.98
359......................4.00
435......................3.30
500......................2.87
