"Hey," she said, sitting down. She took her paper out and a quill with a bottle of ink and set it next to her, then shoved her bag under the desk.
Desiree looked over as her friend joined her, and gave her a smile,
"Hey!". She took Arithmancy last year right? Maybe she could help her if she needed it.

Which is probably why it hadn't needed to evolve over time, because why evolve something that already worked? "Why might the Chaldean Method be more accurate, do you think? Is in, what about the way the numbers are assigned to the letters do you think may make it more accurate?"
They moved on from the diagrams, but continued talking about the two systems. Desiree had already known a little about the Pythagorean Number system, but the Chaldean one was new. So she had to think about the question for a while and what she had read..
As she listened to Zhenya's answer she felt less confident about her own. But she raised her hand,
"Professor, could the Chaldean System be more accurate because it uses compound numbers in addition to single numbers? The single number just represents the physical appearance of a person's name, while the compound number shows the deeper meaning, and significance behind the name."
