Answer to Question 1

A waxing crescent moon cannot be observed on the overhead meridian at 10 A.M.
local time but can be seen on the overhead meridian at 4 P.M. The waxing crescent
moon begins as the new moon ends (12 noon local solar time), continues for 7 3/8
days, and ends at the time of the first-quarter phase of the moon. Because the new
moon occurs at 12 noon local solar time, and the first quarter at 6 P.M., the waxing
crescent can be seen on the overhead meridian between these two times.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.
