Question

A dashing romanian count asks his sweetheart to marry him. She says she will give her reply when the moon is full. If he asked when the moon was at first quarter, how long will he have to wait?.

Answer 1

Given what we know, we can confirm that if the moon is at the first quarter, and her answer is to be given at full moon, the Romanian count will have to wait approximately 22 days.

How do we know that the full moon is 22 days away?

The lunar cycle is how long the moon takes to orbit the earth. This is approximately 27 days, however, the lunar phases take approximately 29.5 days to complete. Since the first quarter moon phase represents the moon at 25% through its cycle, we can conclude that the remaining 75% that the count will have to wait corresponds to 22 days until the full moon.

Therefore, we can confirm that if the moon is at the first quarter, and her answer is to be given at full moon, the Romanian count will have to wait approximately 22 days.
