As an initial test of the Planet V hypothesis, Chambers and Lissauer conducted 36 computer simulations of the Solar System with an additional terrestrial planet. A variety of parameters were used to determine the impacts of Planet V's initial orbit and mass.

Results consistent with the current Solar System were most common with a 0.25 Mars mass Planet V. In cases with
