Nina continued to look around the room, feigning mild disinterest as others shared their answers with the class. She made sure to spend adequate time looking out the window, but did return her gaze back to her notes every time a useful answer was shared. All of this because she actually did care to have notes to refer to after the lesson. The second questions that was asked about the specific parameters warranted increasingly obvious answers from her classmates.

Surely everyone knew at it's core that Arithmancy required proper spelling and assignment of numbers. Perhaps what wasn't shared in anyone's answer was that there was a need for understanding basic mathematical calculations, though this was also quite obvious in Nina's opinion. While accuracy was of great importance, as mentioned a couple hundred times now, the fourth year would argue that precision was just as important, if not more. Precision to make sure that the calculations could be reproduced. Honestly, wasn't the methodology and particular system one of the most important factors? What use did it make if there wasn't a standard system to follow? One could just go assigning numbers spontaneously. Reproducing particular results was entirely dependent on establishing the set system you were using.

Duh.

All of this to say, ooooooooh the sunbeams were so pretty through the window.
