So lastly, if my spiritual transit were another 40 years, it'd be from age 61-100." Helpful? Yes, no?

Tiara checked her watch once more. "Five minutes left to finish up!" Some of them were really getting into this. She hoped they'd finish on time!
OOC: It looks like some of you need another day cuz you're being so thorough, which is awesome! I'll give you until tomorrow night EST, so around 24 hours.
Oh...
As Benny listened as Tanner continued to explain what she meant, it finally sort of click. So transits were like the major cycles where the three different transits played off and after each other. That's how the unreduced numbers played in with one another over the course of the subject person's life. "Alright..." he said with a simple nod and small smile at the professor, "That makes sense." The Gryffindor certainly understood it more now than he had previously.

He nodded at Benny. "Yeah, I did. But I can fix that.'' Already the fifth year was making modifications to his calculations for his bestie. "There. All done. So your Mental transit lasts until 43 and your Spiritual one lasts until 27.'' Gosh. Forty Three. "Reckon you'll have grey hair by forty three?'' Adi pondered out loud and now imagining a grey haired Chinese Fireball. Hehe.
As the woman moved on to alert the class of the five minutes they had left, Benny in turn returned his full attention to Adi and their mutual work. At least he hadn't been alone in the reductions and as the Hufflepuff said, it was definitely fixable. He looked at his work and switched small numbers out for the larger, more fitting ones, crossing out the reductions. Now he just needed the physical transit information that Adi had calculated on his own.
"So 43 years starting after age 32..." he mused, adding what Adi was saying to the physical calculations. So his mental transit ended at his 75th year. "Not sure about 43....but definitely by 75." Eying you about the thought of grey hair after that aging term a few years back. That was an old age, even with the extended life span of the average witch or wizard. And if his life was interesting and stressful like currently, he supposed the grey hairs would indeed be there.
Looking over at Adi's parchment, he noticed the number for his best friend's physical transit. "If I understand it, since your physical transit ends at 24, your mental transit starts then and ends 32 years later at 56. And your spiritual transit is lasts from 56 to 88 years of age."
