Self-mastery, authority or control, higher thinking - these are all intricately related with balance and compromise."


Spot on?

Welp, she'd take it. Naturally she already thought she'd be right because she had eyes and could spot differences but spot on was something entirely different and totally meant she'd done something awesome. Lex looked down at her parchment again. Eight? Hmmm...Well, actually she supposed that kinda made sense.

"I see your point Professor."

SPOILER!!: Practice

OOC: You will have around 24 hours to complete this activity. It's okay for your character to get something wrong!


It seemed they'd moved into a portion of the class Lex was more familar with. Reducing numbers was something she'd learned back in her Second Year maybe...or something like that. The years had begun to mesh for the Gryffindor. Arithmancy had just always been THERE giving her headaches.

This though, wasn't as much of a headache. Nope.

SPOILER!!: Parchment
621 - 6+2+1= 9
83 = 8+3= 11
12345 = 1+2+3+4+5= 15 = 1+ 5= 6
444 = 4+4+4= 12= 1+2= 3
2519980 = 2+5+1+9+9+8+0= 34 = 3+4= 7
10101 = 1+0+1+0+1= 3


Done and with less uncertainty than everything else she'd done in this class.
