Ooh, that makes sense with the leap months and the idea that 33 is one and a bit times 19; I shouldn't have expected a whole number multiple. And the original tweet did say roughly every 33 years, I think it might well be 32 or 34 sometimes depending exactly where we put our leap months. (And yes, I was just thinking, the same new moon, not worrying about the one or two day offset between observed and calculated new moons.) Thank you for being helpful and explaining!
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
