I did not learn this at Home School High School. I won't take my astronomy course at Yale until I finish physics. I don't know, so I have to pick a number -- 4 -- because that's the number of my feet, so it's a very nice number.

Lacrosse, maybe? I can't think of any other L sports, except luge, and I don't think any luge teams are named after cities, or even have a major league besides the Olympics.

2. How many Lagrange Points are there in the Earth-Moon system?
I think any orbiting system has several. They're the points where the pull of gravity is the same from each of the two objects orbiting each other. So there's one where the larger object, the Lagrange Point, and the smaller object are aligned in that order, one where they're aligned as LP/Large/Small, another where they're aligned Large/Small/LP, and two on either side on the orbital path of the smaller body. So that's 5.
