Lesson 2 ~ Character Numbers

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

((YOU ARE DOING YOUR NAME. YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES FOR IT. ALTHOUGH YOU DID NOT DO IT CORRECTLY, BUT YOU TRIED, 5 POINTS WILL BE TAKEN OFF. ))"Actually Cloe, you can't leave it 10. If you find that a two digit number is you character number, then you need to reduce that again. You only leave it when if you add up your last or first name,and reduce it and it gives you a two digit number. Next, your giving random numbers. That is not going to help you find a character number. I don't think you were using the number system correctly.((look at the 9th post)) Even if your first number equaled 26, you would do 2 + 6, not 5 + 5. Like I showed you in "teacher". And, you were trying to find Cloe Potter? That is incorrect work you have here,"Sabrina explained to Cloe. She took Cloe's peice of parchment and wrote on it.
C L O E
3 3 6 5=17
1+7=8
P O T T E R
7 6 2 2 5 9=31
3+1=4
8+4= 12
1+2=3

"Your real character number is 3," Sabrina told Cloe. Sabrina turned to her class." Class, I want you to show me one of the words you did. If you do not do it now, you will stay after class and do it! Unless you have done a word and has shown it to me and got it correct, you may not leave!" Returning back to Cloe, " I want you to show me another word. This time actually showing your work and using the system correctly."

123456789Jared took out a peice of parchment and wrote the word ARITHMANCY and all of the character numbers for it to figure out the real character number.
ARITHMANCY
1992841537=49
4+9=13
1+3=4
So the Character Number for Arithmancy would be 4.
Jared raised his hand and then asked the teacher," did i do this right?" and then waited to see if he did it correctly or not.

Great job!-15 points

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

Sabrina looked at his paper. "Great job! Excepte it was pretty hard to follow the numbers with the letters not that it will be marked wrong if you do that on your homework. May I suggest to put spaces between the letters and numbers?" Sabrina said.

[Cloe Potter]

Autumn
1 3 2 3 4 5
7+8=15
5+2=7

Autumn is my favorite season.

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

"Cloe, you got the numbers for the letters correct, but you add them up. 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5= 18. Then you reduce 18 making it 8+1=9. (You were using random numbers after you found the letter's numbers.) The character number of "Autumn" is 9." Sabrina said.

[Cloe Potter]

"I'm sorry Miss Potter" Cloe said apoligizing.

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

"It's nothing to apologize for. I hope you have just learned about adding the numbers instead of random numbers though." Sabrina said.

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

"Cloe, you are excused. You may pack up and leave. Your assignment for homework is to find the your character number and show me your work. It will be due March 4, 2007. Everybody else, your homework assignment will also be due on that day, so please hury up and find the character number of a word." Sabrina said to Cloe and the class.

[Vanessa Chang]

A C E
1 3 5= 9
"Would the character number be 9?" asked Vanessa.

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

Checking Vanessa's work she said to her" Good job. You are excused and please remeber that your homework is to ifnd your chracter number and show your work. It is due on March 4. Good-bye."

[Cloe Potter]

Cloe came in class. She didn't have her homework finished. "Um Miss Potter I didn't get my homework finished." Cloe said.

[Professor Sabrina Potter]

" That's ok. Please do it tonight and turn it in as soon as possible then. Since you seem to be the first one that is going to turn in the homework, I'll think of a prize to give you. Nobody seems to be paying attention to the homework except you.((The prize is most likely to be housepoints.))," Sabrina said to Cloe.

[Cloe Potter]

Cloe came in the next day. Here is it.

She put the piece of paper on the teachers desk.

ICE
9 3 5=17.

She wrote on the bottom.
I think it would be 17.
