After several minutes of finger drumming, Ella had the answer she hoped was correct. The second year raised her hand in the air with a smile. "Professor, I think they're Pythagorean and Chaldean"

So as soon as she heard the question, Ira raised her hand up and answered, "Professor the two systems are The Pythagorean Number System and the Chaldean Method" They had studied the Pythagorean System before, right?

"Professor, there are two types of systems: one is the Pythagorean System, also known as the Agrippan Method and the second is the Chaldean Method," she replied, hoping it was the correct answer.
Ah and Ella and Ira were the first two to name them both!! To which Sarah and Michelle both confirmed as well. Yay! They knew the number systems!"Correct you both are!! The two methods of Arithmancy are the Chaldean Method and the Pythagorean!"

Question. Indy smiled, as she raised her hand. "The Pythagorean system." That was a big word. hehe. "This system uses the numbers 1 - 9 to represent every letter in the alphabet." And now she was done speaking. Still smiling she put her arm down.
To which Indy mentioned what the Pythagorean Number System uses. "So if, as Indiana mentioned, the Pythagorean Number System uses the numbers 1-9 to represent letters.... then what does the Chaldean Number System use?"
