How often Does a Blue Moon..... (Posted on 2024-11-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
On average, how often (once every N years) does a blue moon (2nd full moon in the same month) fall on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles?

If we define New Year's Eve as any time from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 on the 31st of December, then a full moon on this date (which will automatically be a blue moon) will happen just as often as any other date.

Since a full moon happens on average every 29.53 days, a given date will see a full moon on average every 29.53 years.

But what this has to do with LA, I don't know.  So I'm worried this is some kind of a trick.
