There are 13 full moons once every two and a half years, or 2 years with 13 full moons every five years. So on mean average there are 12.2 full moons each calendar year in the Gregoria calendar. (12 every lunar year).
We were about 26 when it happened and I probably won’t live longer than 100, so let’s go with 100-26.
Let y be the horrible age
Old numbers
= (100-y)*(2 for mirroring)*(number of full moons in a year)
= (100-26)*2*[12+(2/5)]
= 74*2*12.2
= 1850
Edit: average life expectancy for a Canadian woman is 82.05 years. Why make this harder for myself going with 100, scratch 100 let’s go with 82.
Adjusted numbers
= (82-y)*(2 for mirroring)*(number of full moons in a year)
= (82-26)*2*[12+(2/5)]
= 56*2*12.2
= 1366
So while we don’t know exactly how it’ll work, I can make a soft plan to see you again in less than 1,366 moons.
It has already been more than 2 full moons, so less than 1,364 moons.
(Wow 1,366 already feels so much better than 1,850. The power of statistics.)
And as the adage goes, a day for a year.
1364/12 = 111.8
So in that way, 112 days. I can do that. I don't mind waiting, you're worth it.
(I’m the J, so makes sense ;p)
You promised to geek out with me about math, since we were in sync obsessing over math at the same time. This will be our starting point.
