For example, when I was trying to be an 8, I could use October 9th or October 27th." She put her hand down, not sure if that was what the Professor meant by pattern. "Yes!" Josephina nodded at the first year. "There are indeed multiple days within a month that you'll get the same personal day number." Every nine days, to be precise. Which Ella semi-picked up given the fact that 27 and 9 were both divisible by 9. Quote:

Because for him, October 1 would get him a 9, and then October 10 would be the same. "Yes, every nine days, the cycle repeats. That's correct." Fina said, when her captain said it more blatantly than the first year had. Quote:

...and then she wanted them to have a seat on the floor? Oh this just kept getting better and better. THE FLOOR! Like a bunch of animals! Or a house elf one...
Nevertheless, Sierra took a seat then raised her hand. "I did," she said. "The number I started with was nine, and each time I was tagged by a different number, all I had to do was match the date to the number I'd been given. For example, I just got tagged by a seven, so I chose October 7. Nine plus seven is sixteen, and then when you add one plus six, you come up with seven--the number I got changed to."
Of course she hadn't always gone the easy route. "Another way to do it is to find two numbers that add up to the number you're trying to reach. If I wanted to get to seven, I could choose a date like October 25, because two plus five is seven. So then I can just add nine to seven, come up with sixteen again, and add one plus six to get to seven," she explained. "That depends on what your personal month number is though," Josephina said when Sierra suggested matching the date to the number given. "It might not always work out like that." But her second method was definitely more reliable. Quote:

Ira wasn't too tired from the game,to say the truth. because the actual; case was, she was the one who got to tag others, but rarely got tagged herself! So nope, she didn't have had a lot of calculations to do!
Then came the questions. Pattern among the calculations? Were there? Other than the fact that they had multiple choices as some other students had already answered? Ira was too busy tagging and being tagged and calculating to notice any pattern! But one thing she knew and she decided to say it. She raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, I just know one thing.. that there are multiple dates for the same number. That is every number repeats itself after.. 8.. no, 9 days. So this is a pattern, right?" She nodded when another girl commented about the multiple date thing and the every nine days. Quote:

The numbers repeat after... Nine days, was it?" he tried to confirm. It must've slipped through his mind while having too much fun. And then when the Slytherin male said something similar about the nine-day cycles. Same thing as before. So she gave him a nod as well. Quote:

I've also noticed that with the single digit dates, the Personal Day Number is the exact same. Like October 7th is a 7 Personal Day Number, and October 3rd is a 3 Personal Day Number. You can also get the Personal Day Number by adding each digit in the date up. For instance, October 27th would give you a Personal Day Number of 9, because 2 + 7 = 9." "Again, it would depend on your personal month number though. Because you add that number to the day, to get your personal day number, if you recall..." Fina reiterated, as she had to Sierra. It wouldn't be like that every month. Quote:

"Professor, there was definitely some kind of pattern. I guess it has to do with us using the Pythagorean Method of calculation, which has a series of 9 numbers. Because we originally derived our Personal Month Number using that method of calculation, any calendar day we use that adds up to our specific number in that table will give us our Personal Day Number.
Like for example since my Personal Day Number is 6, I could use the Calendar day 8th, 17th or 26th and I would still end up with a Personal number of 6. The pattern I see here, is that as long as the calendar day number for me added up to 8, I would always end up with a Personal Day Number of 6." Alyssa ended her answer, hoping that it made sense. "Definitely," Fina nodded at the third year. "It's definitely related to the fact that Pythagorean number system uses the numbers one through nine!" It likely wouldn't be the same, after all, if they used the Chaldean method. Quote:

"Well professor since we put all numbers to single digits it is a constant repeating pattern from numbers 1-9." Josephina nodded at Minerva who basically said what was said before about the repeating pattern of the numbers one through nine. Quote:

Sophie wasn't sure if she had put it in a understandable way though. "I mean, my month number was 2, so if I got number four, for example, the day would be the 2nd, because 2 + 2 = 4." Obviously. "I could think of another day that, if I summed up the numbers, I'd get 2. Like 11th and 20th. Or I could just use the 9-day pattern I said before. 29th should work too, then."
She looked around. Did that make sense? Well, it did to Sophie, at least. Nine-day pattern. Yes. Good, Sophie understood the pattern as well. Fina nodded at the first year before she addressed the whole class again. "So we have our nine-day pattern with the personal day numbers. One other thing I also mentioned at the beginning of the lesson was that your personal day numbers would have a stronger influence on those days where your number is the same as your soul urge or life path number." She paused, glancing at each of their faces. "As stated in your textbooks, this is because you're adding what is a subtle influence to what is already a stronger influence in your lives. Did any of you come across your life path number or soul urge number in your personal day number for today? If so, then would you mind sharing what you think this means for you today?" If no one had that occur today than she'd just give an arbitrary example.
