"Completely unoriginal answer, spitting back the textbook verbatim, but at least you read the thing and answered correctly. I can respect that enough to give you 5 house points." Chester was surprised by his own generosity. How often did he actually give out five house points to one person? He must be coming down with something...

Once you overcome those challenges, you reach the highest peak of that pinnacle."

"Just a bunch of numbers? Those numbers of which you speak deserve a bit more respect than such informal assessment. And while your answer is partially correct, you speak one key word incorrectly. You don't overcome the Challenges, you become what they indicate you need to work on. Two points for your effort." Yes, something is definitely not right with him. Being much too generous with house points. Who gives out points for partially correct answers? He must be getting soft.

"Another textbook verbatim answer, but correct nonetheless. Five points to you." Well, he'd already given the first kid 5 points for the same answer; might as well give the same to this kid. At least he actually opened his mouth to speak up. Deserved more credit than some of the other students in the class. What was getting in to him? Being all reasonable... scary.

"OK, I want this to be a fairly quick lesson. No need to draw it out longer than necessary. So, how do the calculations of the Challenges differ from the Pinnacles and how are they similar?"
