And look at you smart Lions already attempting your challenge numbers on your own. Fina made a mental tab to check their works after the four students displayed their examples on the board.
Realising his hand was still up which was pretty unnecessary since the professor had heard that he was volunteering, Josh lowered it quickly and looked around if that had taken anyone's attention. He must have looked stupid doing that but there was no one around laughing or snickering at him. So fine. Fine for those people actually, for their own well-being. He was already irritated by some certain person and he did not need another.
Ooooh...the professor had chosen him! For the fourth challenge number. Good. Smiling at the woman some, the lion boy rose from the chair and walked to blackboard standing beside Evelyn.
*stare*
Eh...he needed to calculate that number, right...yes. So, taking his eyes off someone else, Josh looked at the blackboard instead and started his work.

That was it, right? It should have been like that...however...there was one point Josh was unsure of: Was he supposed to subtract while calculating the year of birth number as well? Hmmmm... That way it would be like;
2057 - 8
(2-0-5-7) - 8
-10 - 8
([-]1-0) - 8
-1 - 8
= -9
Meeeeeeeeh...that, to be honest, did not look so reasonable. Then, instead he was going to go with the one he had written on the board. If he was wrong, Professor Hadley would mention it after all.
