She raised her hand up again and answered, "Professor, the Chaldean sysytem uses numbers from 1-8" But why 9 wasn't used, Ira didn't know. "And it is the oldest system right, Professor?" Quote:

With a smile, Indy raised her hand. "That method just uses the numbers 1 - 8, excluding the number 9 that the other method uses. This is because the people who invented the method thought that the number was holy, and so they decided to hold it apart from the other numbers" Quote:

"I think the Chaldean system uses the numbers one through eight, but doesn't have the number nine like the Pythagorean system." She wondered if there were any differences in the interpretations of numbers since there was one less number in the Chaldean method. Quote:

Ehh, maybe Mr Chaldean or whoever invented it was too lazy to use nine as well. "Yes, precisely right! The Chaldean Method uses only the numbers one through eight!" Turning to look at the board, she flicked her wand at the chalk as it drew two overlapping circles on the board. "This, what I've drawn is a venn diagram. It's a useful tool to be able to compare and contrast two or more items." And if they knew her, then they might predict what was coming next. "Your first activity in today's lesson will be to compare and contrast the two Numerological systems. You have 15 minutes." ooc: in real time, you'll have about 10 hours before I post another question =). You can either fill in a Venn Diagrams or just simply do it in list format though the more effort and thought = more points. You can work in groups or alone, but again, you get credit for what YOU put in, not taking your partner's work if you choose to do it that way. Don't plagiarize each other. Don't edit. and the Arithmancy Professor is now off to do some Herbology for a bit before work *whistles*
