"Time is nearly out for the lesson, please spend the next ten minutes finalizing your calculations. I will hand out the homework at the end. If you have any questions, please ask myself or someone who's figured it out already."[/COLOR] Alcemee sighed and wrote everything down. Quote:

Hoping he did it right, he looked up at the girl and said, "Both your numbers are nine..." Well, now that they had this information, what were they supposed to do?
He flipped through his textbook to try and find the meaning of the number nine. He found;
What? He kept looking. Surely, he could find something with more detail? Aha! Perfect.
He turned the textbook towards the girl and pointed at the right parts of the pages. "Do those sound right?"
Well, as long as he knew where to look he might as well see what the textbook said about his OWN numbers. She said they were...4 and 3. Right.
Uhm. Okay. Well, the first one sounded completely wrong. The second one was closer to being right. But then again, what would he know about the future? Shaking his head at the textbook, Jimbo again decided that he really didn't like Arithmancy. The numbers made no sense sometimes. And just when he was starting to feel a little proud of himself that he'd figured it all out...
But then, when he looked at the textbook again, he saw something that confused him a little. He raised his hand and made sure he spoke loud enough for the professor to hear. "Professor, what does the textbook mean when it mentions numbers eleven, twenty-two and twenty-three? I thought we were supposed to reduce." Alcemee replied, "They seem partly incorrect, but they're mostly right. Do your numbers's descriptions seem right?"
