Ion torrent - can someone help me figure this out.

Consider the following two Sequence Reads. Indicate for each
read how many sequencing cycles were needed to complete the
sequence, assuming you are sequencing them with Illumina and
Ion Torrent.

Please NOTE:
(i) A sequencing cycle is one step in the sequencing experiment
    in which bases can be added to the read until no more bases
    can be added. Then typically a washing step follows.
(ii) If the technology provides only one type of nucleotide per
    sequencing cycle, use the nucleotide order A, C, G, T, A, ...



(a) Sequence Read: GGGCTCCTGG
