He looked down at his parchment for a moment For example my Personal Year Number is 5 so you need to add that to The Number month October is which is 10 He paused for a second, then went on. But you need to break down 10 into 1 +0 to get one of the 9 personal month numbers.

Let me give my calculation as an example. By birthday is October 27, 2060. So my month is 10, my day is 27, and the current calendar year is 2076." That was a tricky part. "So I'd have 10 + 27 + 2076. You have to reduce each part individually first. Then 10 is 1 + 0 = 1; 27 is 2 + 7 = 9; and 2076 is 2 + 7 + 6, which gives 15."

He paused briefly to let this settle in. "You further reduce that 15 to 1 + 5 = 6. In total, I'm adding 1 + 9 + 6. That gives me 16, which reduces to 1 + 6 = 7. After that you look up the meaning for seven in the textbook."

Wow, explaining these things is way harder than he thought. Mad props to Hadley.

But seriously, they should just ask Hadley about those weird calculation methods while she was already paying attention to them. "Professor, Treyen and I are a bit confused on the Personal Year Number. We both used two different methods that yielded the same answer. Basically, I did it the reduce-the-components-first method and got 7. But, then I tried adding the components together first and then reducing. I also got 7. Treyen had the same thing happened. Will it work both ways for everyone?"

Exploration!

Oh good. She didn't have to pull teeth this time for them to pick different ones to explain. Nodding at each of them of volunteered an explanation, she said simply, "Couldn't have said it better myself."

"Anyway, as I mentioned, we're going to be playing a miniature version of tag. But as this classroom is rather small, I'd like to first of all, push all the desks to the side of the room. The only things you need to keep in mind for this game are your personal year and month number, as you may need them to calculate a new personal day number."

The Activity

* You will all START the game assigned to whatever number is your personal day number for the 17th of October, 2076.
* Touching one of the desks on the side of the room is considered a "safe or neutral zone". But if you're just hanging out in the middle, then you're free zone to be tagged by someone with a different number from you.
* If you DO get tagged by a different number, then before you can "become that number", you have to find a day in October 2076 that would give you that number as a Personal Day Number.

The Rules:
* Don't God-Mod. If someone tags you, don't pretend like you were touching the desk.
* On the same token, don't be a desk hog either. You have to be out in the open. I'm trusting you guys to be fair to yourselves and to your classmates. And to have FUN with this.
* You have two choices for how to be identified by your Personal Day number. First of all, you can wear it as your avatar. OR you can include it at the bottom of the post. If you don't do either, then I'll assume you're not playing and you won't get participation credit for this activity.

The Number Graphics:

Again, these correspond to your Personal DAY Number.

Most importantly, have fun. And of course, if you have questions about the game, you're welcome to PM me them.

The game will most likely run until sometime on Sunday, January 22nd. But it all depends on YOU guys and your participation. I may cut it shorter or extend it.
