Thank you for an
interesting problem, and Bob for the link to the painting. In order to work out whether
we can see the reflection of the moon, we might as well ask ourselves if the
moon could see our reflection in the water. The answer must surely be
No, because our reflection is so low that the house gets in the way. The attached drawing
hopefully shows what I mean. Rudolf Van:
