I believe the UK has a law for this and it's 7 times.

Norway here. I'm sure I've heard 7 somewhere too.

I don't think there's a specific rule but if you obstruct traffic unnecessarily you're breaking veitrafikkloven §3

"Everyone must travel with consideration and be alert and cautious so that no danger arises or damage is caused and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or disturbed."

Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.

As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.

There's no such law in the UK.

American here, although I have no clue 7 sounds fine so we're calling it. Get on with it.

Too complicated for you.

Even the word roundabout is too complicated... My GPS refers to them as "traffic circles".
