The trick, Leon, is that some of them are variables, and they are at their brightest at different times!

A & B are eclipsing binaries
'A' drops to mag 7.65 every 65 days
'B' drops to mag 8.65 every 6 days

G, H, and I are all variables.
I attempted for months to get all 9 stars, but as I saw 'I' appear, 'B' had slightly faded, and 'H' was completely gone and 'G' was very very faint.

It's a mathematical game.
