And the fourth is adding the month of birth to the year of birth," he explained. "It's basically the same concept, only you subtract to find Challenges, and add to find Pinnalces." "Have you been sleeping in my classroom? Did you not just hear your classmates provide that answer for how to calculate the Challenges? I asked how to find the Challenge Ages! Pay attention or I'll dock points, boy!" There. That was much more like Chester. Quote:

Nico paused before adding, "We start with 36 because it is the number of challenges or Pinnacles multiplied by 9 which is considered a perfect number." "That was the answer I was looking for, though I could have done without the example. Four points, nonetheless."
Chester eyed the few young men in his class and added, "For those of you who attended my lesson on the Pinnacles, you'd be pleased to know that you've technically already calculated your Challenge Ages by previously calculating your Pinnacle Ages. The timeframe for each Pinnacle and Challenge is precisely the same, so that should spare you some time. If you didn't attend, or were stupid enough to lose your notes, you'll have to calculate them.
"Now, I'd like you all to calculate your own four Challenges and their corresponding ages. Include the textbook's assessment and provide your own interpretations. I want to know how your current Challenge applies to your life. Does it seem accurate? Completely off? Figure it out. I'll be walking around and checking some of your work." |
