These are three very good reasons why I couldn't be bothered working out the maths on this question. Can someone help me, please? Remember that I'm timing you, and no slide rules or MP3 players are permitted. If you need help, raise your hand and do not leave your seat for any reason.The campaign world I'm developing has two moons, Luna Alpha and Luna Beta. Luna Alpha, the larger of the two, orbits the planet in the traditional time of one month. Luna Beta, however, is smaller, slower and further away, and it orbits the planet in three months. Assuming the sun is 50 million miles from the planet, Luna Alpha is 77,000 miles from the planet, and Luna Beta is 257,000 miles from the planet (I just made those up, but we'll consider them canon now), how often will both moons be full at the same time?The person that gives me the correct, or at least most plausible answer, wins a trip for 2 to Barbados. Unless they already live there, in which case they don't need a free trip.Turn over your papers. You may now begin.</blockquote>
