Hmm... Gideon looked up at Professor Hadley as she came by wondering what was wrong. "Oh...nothing Professor," he answered realizing she might have seen him frown in response to the supposed meaning of his results. "I just wasn't sure of the meaning," he added with a slight shrug assuring her it was really not a problem. It seemed to be fine and she said nothing the second time around after the later calculation. Finished for now, the fifth year let his mind wander a little until they moved on, the boy listening to Professor Hadley as she talked about the next set of numbers. Gideon looked over what they were, deciding to read through the calculations given by their textbook while they took abreak and finally trying his hand at them with his own information. SPOILER!!: Work |
SPOILER!!: Glenn! As Glenn read the description of her Personality Year Number, she listened while she also started solving for her Personality Month Number. "Romantic relationships eh?" What was that? A joke? She did not even have any crush, for Merlin's sake! But what got her thoughts hanging was the next statement her new friend said. She'll be needed by her family? Whatever will happen in which her family would need her? Her chest pounded for a moment before she regained control of herself. Beezus shrugged. "I guess so." she told Glenn. SPOILER!!: parchment "Oi.Oi.." She shifted on her seat. "It says I need to rest and relax. Maybe I need a time off from the heaps of homeworks?" It also mentioned solitude. Maybe she really some introspection within her. Beezus made it a mental note to sometimes visit the Grounds. She hadn't been there for a while because of the schoolwork. Perhaps that would clear up her mind, or so the meaning of her Personality Month Number says. |
It was a good thing Professor Hadley was allowing them to review independently as well as with a partner because it seemed all those who had wanted partners had already been snatched up, leaving Vashti to work on her own. Which was okay with her. At least it meant she could go ahead and look over the Personal Day/Month/Year Numbers without waiting to find a person willing to partner with her. She flipped through the textbook pages until she found the correct page. She skimmed it quickly to refresh herself on how to do them then set to work calculating them. Text Cut: Personal Year Number & Meaning That...actually sounded like really good advice. She read it over a couple more times then starred the number on her paper and made a mental note to bookmark the page so she could look it up again later. Now it was time for her Personal Month Number. Text Cut: Personal Month Number & Meaning And some of this actually applied too. An unexpected surprise? Oh yeah. Big time. The rest of it she wasn't so sure about since she didn't sell anything, but it was definitely right about changes and unexpected surprises. Now for the Personal Day Number. Text Cut: Personal Day Number & Meaning And...now it was talking about her health again? Wasn't... She glanced back over to her Personal Year Number and... Yep, it talked about managing her health too. She frowned. Was she...going to get sick or something? |

SPOILER!!: Oakey's Hard Work Oakey looked at his almost completely full piece of parchment. It was was filled with ink. He might need to switch to a second piece. |
SPOILER!!: Beezus! Glenn laughed, "Depends if the ice-cream is more expensive than the Butterbeer!" She joked, grinning. Glenn tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and flicked to the next page in her textbook, "So, Personal Day Numbers now," She said under her breath, more to herself than anyone else. She dipped her quill in some ink and started the calculation in her journal, hopefully the new calculations she had made weren't done wrong or she had made a mistake in the adding up. SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal "Mine says something along those lines too, except mine is the Personal Day Number." Glenn frowned then smiled, "I wonder how that would work as an excuse not to do homework?" She smirked. Glenn wasn't being serious, but it was interesting concept to think about a student saying that to a teacher. You'd probably get points taken off your house or even a detention, she didn't want that that to happen to her. |
sorry it took so long to reply. SS kept refreshing my post before I finished typing!! SPOILER!!: Oakey "Wow! Oakey you didn't really need my help after all. From the looks of it, your calculations are correct, despite the fact that I must have confused you more with my directions on how to do it,"Alyssa smiled apologetically at him. "Anyway, here's what I came up with when I did my own calculations to find my Personal Day number." Alyssa said to Oakey showing him the parchment where she had done the calculations for her own Personal Day number. Text Cut: Calculations for Personal Year Number Text Cut: Personal Month Number Now for the final set of numbers. Text Cut: Personal Day Number Quote:

SPOILER!!: ^_^ When she saw her partner starting on solving for her Personal Day Number, she also flicked her textbook into the next page. "Your Personal Day Number is found by adding the number of the calendar day to the number of your Personal Month." Beezus read. So, her Personal Month Number was 7 and the date today was..She quickly turned to Glenn as the badger told her about also having 7 as her Personal Day Number. "Why..the number seven seems to be focused in relaxation. Don't you think?" And without allowing her to answer yet, Beatrice continued, "Err--what's the date today again?" Really, she ought and try remembering those important kind of things. |

"So as you all seem to have figured out how to calculate your Personal Year, Month and Day numbers... we'll just go over a bit of a review before we move onto a small activity of sorts." She paused, flipping through her notes for a moment before turning back to the class. "Right then, so the personal year number is definitely, aside from the core numbers, one of the most significant numbers in your life, considering its themes and meanings change yearly and it dictates where you should focus your energies each year." "Can someone please describe for me how to find the personal year number? And then someone else tell me how to find your personal month number? And finally, someone else describe about calculating your personal day number?" ooc: Please only give an answer about ONE of these. You may use your own calculation in effort to help explain. |
Looking up from her parchment, Kurumi decided to go backwards in explanation and raised her hand. "You find your Personal Day Number by adding the calendar day to your Personal Month Number," she said. "Of course, make sure that the calendar day number has been reduced to a single digit before you do so. So, don't add 17 to the Personal Month Number, but 8." |

Hey Alyssa check this out. Our year, month an day numbers have a pattern to them. He showed her scanning his and her parchment with his index finger. See mine shows 5-6-5 and yours is plus one from mine see. He pressed his fingers next to each of her numbers that showed 6-7-6. I doubt it has any meaning itself, I just think that's pretty cool.

Text Cut: Keefer! "Perhaps it's one of those calculations in which the order we do things doesn't really matter?" he said, but his eyes went straight to Hadley, she'd better heard that, or...he could still ask, instead of waiting for her to hear him. Treyen highly doubted that this incident was just for the two of them. Hufflepuffs were awesome...but, yeah, everyone probably had the same results they had. But back to Keefer... ...heh. Right. "Yeah, good thing you're the Captain." Though, in all honesty, if the Head Boy managed to get picked for the team...then now he knew Keefer will make them work hard this year. As long as he didn't ADD yoga... "No, I believe the bath tub is for me, see?" he gestured to the textbook descriptions he got, "It's all telling me to relax." Which...kind of suited him right now. Head Boy + NEWTs Ohhh. Question from Hadley. Hand raised! "For the calculations of our Personal Month Number we use the Personal Year Number we got and add the reduced number of the current month to it." He said, before explaining the calculations a bit. "My Personal Year Number for 2076 is 2, and we're in October, which means we add the reduced number of 10 (1) to the previous number 2. So, 2 plus 1 equals 3, and that's it." Mmmhmm. Yes? Time to relax, eh? SPOILER!!: Treyen's parchment |
Text Cut: Treyen He smirked at Treyen. "Ah yes, but my Personal Day Number told me to relax as well. So make room for a pool party, buck-o." Buck-o? I watched too many Muggle Western movies over the holidays. Text Cut: Hadley Keefer raised both hands. "Professor, I think I'll take a stab at the Personal Year Number. The formula is given by Personal Year Number = month of birth + day of birth + current calendar year. Let me give my calculation as an example. By birthday is October 27, 2060. So my month is 10, my day is 27, and the current calendar year is 2076." That was a tricky part. "So I'd have 10 + 27 + 2076. You have to reduce each part individually first. Then 10 is 1 + 0 = 1; 27 is 2 + 7 = 9; and 2076 is 2 + 7 + 6, which gives 15." He paused briefly to let this settle in. "You further reduce that 15 to 1 + 5 = 6. In total, I'm adding 1 + 9 + 6. That gives me 16, which reduces to 1 + 6 = 7. After that you look up the meaning for seven in the textbook." Wow, explaining these things is way harder than he thought. Mad props to Hadley. But seriously, they should just ask Hadley about those weird calculation methods while she was already paying attention to them. "Professor, Treyen and I are a bit confused on the Personal Year Number. We both used two different methods that yielded the same answer. Basically, I did it the reduce-the-components-first method and got 7. But, then I tried adding the components together first and then reducing. I also got 7. Treyen had the same thing happened. Will it work both ways for everyone?" Exploration! |
SPOILER!!: Helen of Hogwarts Paulie heard the screeching of a wooden chair moving over the floor, and when he looked to his left, Louisa was ready to partner up with him. He gave a wide smirk. "Oh, what's this, Louisa? Don't get too close. We wouldn't want another detention," he said, emphasizing the last word and saying it rather loudly as he cast a glance at Hadley. "Right.." He said, getting back to what they were supposed to be doing. "Those numbers.." Scribble, scribble, scribble... SPOILER!!: Personal Year When he was all done, he looked up to see that Louisa was already finished with hers. Surprise, surprise. He shifted his torso to get a look at her number. "Aah, don't forget the 'romantic relationships move to the forefront' part," he added. He read through his, then gave a shrug. "I guess mine doesn't seem so bad. Donno how accurate these are, though." SPOILER!!: Personal Month Paulie raised a brow. "Curl up and read a book?" PFFFFT. She could have that one! He looked to his own. "'Set goals and determine your intentions,'" he quoted from his number. "I prefer to just wing it, but thanks for the advice, Textbook." He drew a breath and dipped his quill. "Hopefully this next one has some cool stuff, like... 'you're gonna get fame and fortune and girls will be falling at your feet.'" Paulie gave a crooked smile and stroked the peach fuzz on his chin. SPOILER!!: Personal Day Paulie's shoulders slumped. "Nine? Again? I swear, all I get are one's and nine's... can I ever be in the middle of a journey?" He dropped his quill and fell back against his chair before sliding his fingers through his hair and messing it all up. It now looked as if he'd been out in 50 MPH winds with no hood. When Louisa gave her day number, Paulie made a face. "Yeah. That does sound boring." All the day numbers sounded pretty boring, though, so it's not like she was missing out much. He tapped the bridge of his nose, glanced over at Hadley, then turned back to his desk again. |
Silvia raised her hand. "You find your personal year number by taking your day of birth and month of birth and reducing them both to a single digit. Then you reduce the current year to a single digit and add it to your reduced day of birth and month of birth numbers; and you keep reducing the result until you get another single digit number." |
Zhenya looked down at her parchment and raised her hand, "Professor, to get the Personal month number you calculate the two numbers of the month to reduce it to one digit, and then you add that number to your personal year number. If the numbers are double digit, you add them together to reduce them to one digit, and that one digit is your personal month number," she said. |
SPOILER!!: :3 Glenn placed her quill down, done with her work for the present time. "Well let's just hope your work is correct so that I don't have to spend any money on you at all." She smiled cheekily Glenn listened to what Beezus had to say, Merlin's Beard! That was funny, both getting the same number, "Yeah, It seems to be focused on relaxation and meditation"She said, glancing at her textbook and the multiple times it is mentioned in it. She answered Beezus' next question, "It's the 17th, 17th of October." SPOILER!!: Glenn being corrected for the second time xD Glenn blushed, embarrassed at having made such a minor mistake again, "Thanks," She muttered, dipping her quill in Beezus' ink and making the correction underneath. Merlin, her journal was going to become messy with all these corrections she was doing. SPOILER!!: Glenn's Journal Over flirtatious? That one was new to her, considering she had never had a boyfriend in her life. Glenn actually found it kind of funny that out of that one mistake the meanings were so totally different. It seemed a pretty good Soul Urge Number to have though, better than the last one in the least. "Professor?" She asked, "Have I corrected it ah-correctly?". SPOILER!!: Professor Hadley Glenn raised her hand, "You find your Personal Day Number by adding the reduced current day, which is the 17th, and whatever number that you got when you worked out your Personal Month Number. So, using mine as an example. You would split the number 17 into 1 and 7 and add them together to create 8, then add your Personal Month Number to that mine being 8. The answer would be 16 but it needs to be a single digit, so I would split that into 1 and 6 and add the 1 and 6 together to create 7." She gushed, explaining it just a little bit more confusingly than she had intended. |

"Anyway, as I mentioned, we're going to be playing a miniature version of tag. But as this classroom is rather small, I'd like to first of all, push all the desks to the side of the room. The only things you need to keep in mind for this game are your personal year and month number, as you may need them to calculate a new personal day number." * You will all START the game assigned to whatever number is your personal day number for the 17th of October, 2076.The Activity * Touching one of the desks on the side of the room is considered a "safe or neutral zone". But if you're just hanging out in the middle, then you're free zone to be tagged by someone with a different number from you. * If you DO get tagged by a different number, then before you can "become that number", you have to find a day in October 2076 that would give you that number as a Personal Day Number. The Rules: * Don't God-Mod. If someone tags you, don't pretend like you were touching the desk. * On the same token, don't be a desk hog either. You have to be out in the open. I'm trusting you guys to be fair to yourselves and to your classmates. And to have FUN with this. * You have two choices for how to be identified by your Personal Day number. First of all, you can wear it as your avatar. OR you can include it at the bottom of the post. If you don't do either, then I'll assume you're not playing and you won't get participation credit for this activity. The Number Graphics: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...hmancy/one.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...hmancy/two.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/three.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/four.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/five.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...hmancy/six.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/seven.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...ancy/eight.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...mancy/nine.jpg Again, these correspond to your Personal DAY Number. Most importantly, have fun. And of course, if you have questions about the game, you're welcome to PM me them. The game will most likely run until sometime on Sunday, January 22nd. But it all depends on YOU guys and your participation. I may cut it shorter or extend it. |
Alyssa listened as the other students gave their answers. Since there were only 3 questions to answer, and some students had already given answers to all of the 3, Alyssa decided that even though the answers would more or less sound the same, Alyssa decided to still venture her own answer. So she raised her hand and said, "Professor some of the students have already explained how we go about calculating to get our Personal Month number. Well, I found my Personal Day number by adding the today's date which is the 17th to my personal month number which is 7. Using the number reduction process, I first reduced today's date from the number 17 to 8, by adding 1 with 7. Then I added 8 with my Personal Month number which is 7. That totalled up to 15. Then using the number reduction process, I added 1 with 5 and finally came up with a single digit of 6. That is my Personal Day Number." Alyssa hoped that she made sense but more importantly, that she was correct. Right after Alyssa gave her answer, Alyssa heard that they were going to be playing a game. As Alyssa listened to the instructions, she started to smile. She loved the game of tag. She just had to remember that this was just a game, and that all this was meant to be fun. So she first hung on to the side of the desk designated safe for someone with a personal number of 6, before she bravely left her safe zone and entered the Free Zone |
Ooh! That sounds like fun! It reminded her a bit of the capture the flag game. Glenn pushed her desk to the side of the room along with everyone else. She retied her hair to make sure that it wouldn't fall in her eyes. Older students may think that it was childish to play tag, but in Glenn's twelve-year-old state of mind, this was serious business. She kept her hand on her desk, hesitant to be the first to be out in the open. http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...itch/seven.jpg |

SPOILER!!: parchment So I really need to pay attention to my family eh? What's going to happen anyway? Beezus thought. She was about to share that to her new Badger friend when Professor Hadley announced the start of their game. Following the other students, she helped move the desks to the side. After doing so, she arranged her things, making sure it won't fall and won't go missing. "Well..I'm number six." she said, not really aimed to anyone. When she had familiarized the rules, she walked over to the middle of the classroom. |
Kurumi looked up as Professor Hadley explained what they were doing next. Tag? Kurumi cocked her head to the side, feeling a little confused at first, but she pushed her desk to the side of the room and kept her hand on it for a moment. So, they were supposed to essentially turn everyone in the room into someone with the same Personal Day Number as them? Merlin, with numbers 1 through 9 available, this was going to be nothing but chaos. Kurumi stepped only a few steps away from her desk and looked around the room. "Anyone else a 5?!" Because, you know, it WOULD make sense to team up. "If so, come over here!" |

Oakey headed over towards Kurumi when she called out for anybody else who was a 5. Oakey had thought it strange that he'd team up with Kurumi in this game. She and him had competed against each other twice now, once during the capture the flag game and again in the duel they recently had. Hey Kurumi long time no see. he said with a smile. Standing by the closest desk he could find. |
Alyssa figured out Kurumi's idea was a good one, and so although it would mean copying an idea, it still make sense, so Alyssa slowly moved closer to her safe desk but not touching it and yelled out,"Is anyone a 6? If so, let's form a team" |
Zhenya's personal day number was 1 - which was perfect, as she loved red! She looked around to see if anyone had the same red number one as she did... http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/...arletJ/one.jpg |
