Would this help? the integers must be in the range 0-34.
there are 10^23 ways of assigning 17 variables each to one of 35
values.

The key must be that we only need the sum of "planets", but there isnt
much overlap of that with the other solar names.

BTW there is a slight ambiguity in phrasing here - I assume the sum is
done in the
obvious way, with duplicates counting double.
