Hogwarts RPG Name: Eliza Neladara Dawnsel Fifth Year | Holy quickness! Eliza jotted down her numbers as quickly as possible. Okay so...take my number, 62, and double it. Then add twelve. Then divide that total by 4. Okay.
She was pretty sure she had that right so she listened for the next instruction. When she got it, she thought it over. Okay, now...divide my original number, 62, by 2.
She listened again and jotted down the next step. Now subtract your that half of your original number from your original total.
She was glad they were warming up with this, but the wording was a little tricky. Then Hadley said something she wasn't expecting. Everyone's number is now three?! Wow! That was pretty cool.
And the Golden Ratio? She wasn't sure, but it just sounded like something that would be really evenly balanced or something. She let the other students respond, since she wasn't positive.
Finally hearing Professor Hadley describe it though, really didn't clear it up for her. There were so many...words. Usually she was good with words, but words about math were confusing words just like she supposed numbers about words would probably be pretty confusing numbers, right? At any rate, she did as she was told and checked out her fingers.
Her longest finger was about 3.35 inches and the shorter one next to it was about 3.0. She did her best to do the math, but again, it wasn't her favorite subject. Wow, she thought, That IS pretty close to the number she said. That's crazy! She continued to look at her fingers and then began wondering if her face was as "golden ratio-ey" as her fingers were. She hoped so. Symmetrical faces were subconsciously more attractive right? She thought she'd heard that somewhere before. Or read it. She wasn't sure.
