It seemed odd that in the other to numbers he'd reduced to single digits and yet with 22 he had not. Then the professor asked if students had questions. Ian looked around and didn't see anyone else asking a question, so he raised his hand.

Professor. What are master numbers? Obviously, the numbers she had listed were it, but that didn't explain WHY they were master numbers and Ian was confused a little. He had copied the responses from the volunteers along with some notes, but now he needed to know what a master number was and it's purpose in Arithmancy.

"As previously stated, the three Master Numbers are 11, 22, and 33. They have special resonances for interpretations and important significance in higher level topics that are beyond the scope of today's lesson." In other words, that was a topic for another day further along in his education.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Now clase, we must talk about the Life Path calculation. We use the full date of birth, including the month, year, and day. So for instance, Harry Potter." The perfect example, since so many people knew his birthday. "Born the 31st day of July in 1980. Turn all of that into numbers: 31 for the day, 7 for the month, and 1980 for the year. Then reduce as we just practiced."

She pointed her wand at the board and made the calculation appear.

= 11

"So Harry Potter's Life Path number is 2. Please use the three birth dates you brought in today on your list. Calculate the Life Path number for each of the three people." Then all that was left for the last step would be the interpretation.
