Shenkuu Lunar Temple

The Shenkuu Lunar Temple is a daily where you analyze the position of Kreludor and Neopia on an astrological map to guess the phase of Kreludor.

Finding the Phase

As a first step, make sure you click on the link to view the actual puzzle page. Not doing so will leave you with incorrect angle information.

As Kreludor moves around Neopia, it forms an angle between three points. Zero degrees is a straight line from the sun through Neopia to Kreludor. As the moon orbits clockwise around Neopia, the angle increases. This results in the changes in the phases of the moon.

To find your exact angle measurement, you must dig through Neopets Source Code. To do this, the most common method is to click on a blank area of the page and select "View Page Source" or something similar. This will depend on what browser you have. If you have trouble, try looking for a "View Source" option under the "View Menu".

Now search the source (Usually Control + F or CMD + F) for &angleKreludor. You should then see some code like this line:

angleNeopia=144&angleKreludor=169&viewID=2

You will want to pay attention to the number following angleKreludor=, in this case it is 169.

Calculations

Now you will need to find which phase of the moon Kreludor is at. To do this:

1. Take your angle measure (found in the above step), and divide it by 22.5
2. If it's a decimal, round to the nearest whole number (e.g. 0.5 and above, round up, 0.4 and below, round down)
3. Take your rounded number, and see which phase of the moon it corresponds to below. A 0 or 16 will be a full moon, and an 8 is a new moon (all black)

If your head is spinning from all of that math, then simply enter your angle in the calculator located in this guide!

Calculate Your Phase

Use the instructions above to obtain your angle, and then plug it in below:

Prizes

Whether or not you provide the correct phase, you will get an item as a reward.
