Fun Stuff > CHATTER
This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Morituri:
Really? What station? What country even? And did they come up with the same fraction sum?
I'd been thinking about how to make gearing that a clock could use. The ratio of 25101 days to 850 lunar months is fairly well known (to the vanishingly small number of people who actually care) but 2789 is a prime factor of 25101 and it's really hard to cut a gear with 2789 teeth.
So I'd been thinking, since gears with more than 360 teeth are impractical, about how to express it using numbers smaller than 360.

LBC in the UK.
Basically a Chat station which Im obsessed with just now because of the whole brexit farce.
One of the presenters has a section where they open the lines to Questions or Answers and it's a free=for-all of people asking questions and others trying to give answers if the host cannot.
And the question of the energy lost/exchanged between the moon and the earth through tidal forces came up!
