Each picture is for 8 time units. White dots on the curve are where the time has an integral value. I have labeled some to avoid ambiguities. Labels for times 35 thru 40 are confusing. At t = 37 and t = 38 the 5 mass (yellow) lands on the track of the 3 mass (turquois). At t = 47 the 5 mass is just back to where it was at about t = 40.6. The greatest numerical distress occurs about 15.7 which event is notable in the picture. The 3 mass is off screen between t = 49 and t = 57 after which it makes its last encounter with the other two which have already begun their final perpetual pas de deux. It passes between the other two in such a phase so as to extract enough of their potential energy to be ejected from the system.
