Default Question: Judging High Tide by the Moon

So why not answer the question "is the period from rise to set at a
fixed location constant?" Why be so evasive? I'll give you a hint and
then add to it: Is it constant at a fixed location on the same day each
year? If not why?

Cheers

I know the answer, having worked it out (for the nth time) a few minutes after
reading the question. But it seems like you have some difficulty with the
concepts. After all, I had the correct answer to the problem; all you've
offered is nonsense.

So you don't know the answer?

Are you claiming its broken?

There are a number of factors that determine the time between moonrise and
moonset. However, there is no reason why a 12 hour duration can't occur,

and no


reason why it can't happen from 4pm to 4am.


Yes, but is the period from rise to set at a fixed location constant?
And yes I'm trying to get some thinking going.

Cheers
