Professor Wesolowski stands at the door, eyeing each student as they enter his classroom. He's in a fickle mood, not much interested in being around people at the moment, so tread lightly...
On the board is the following message: Quote:
Open your textbook to the Chapter on The Challenges and be prepared to answer questions and do several calculations. This means parchments out, ink wells filled, and quills sharp.

Cale raised his hand. "Well, the first pinnacle is calculated by adding your month of birth to your day of birth. The second is found by adding your day of birth to the year of birth. The third is simply just adding the first and second pinnacles together. 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."

Raising his hand Nicholai answered, "Sir, to calculate the challenge age ranges- as with the pinnacles, you subtract your life path number from the number 36, then add 9 each time to find each interval. For example, my life path number is 22/4, so I subtract 4 from 36 resulting in a first challenge interval from birth to age 32, then I add 9 to that; resulting in a second challenge interval of 33-41, then in the same fashion; 42-50 and finally 51 until death." 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."

"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:

"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." | |

Jason began to calculate. Quote:
May 2, 2050 = 05/02/2050
2 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 14
1 + 4 = 5
Life path number is 5, subtracted from 36 = 31 (birth to 31) for First Challenge Number.
Second Challenge Number - 40 (32 to 40)
Third Challenge Number - 49 (41 to 49)
Fourth Challenge Number - 58 (50 to 58)
“Those are my challenge ages. Challenge numbers are different from challenge ages,” Jason scolded himself, moving on to the next part.. Quote:
First Challenge Number = day of birth - month of birth
Second Challenge Number = year of birth - day of birth
Third Challenge Number = Second Challenge Number - First Challenge Number
Fourth Challenge Number = year of birth - month of birth
Challenge 1 – 2 – 5 – That’s a negative number, so a 0
Challenge 2 – 2050 = 2 + 5 = 7 – 2 = 5
Challenge 3 – 5 – 0 = 5
Challenge 4 – 7 – 5 = 2
Jason looked around, wanting to make sure. “Does a negative number become a 0?”, he asked. Quote:
Challenge 1 – ZERO (0): Also called the Cipher Challenge, it stands for all or nothing. The symbol of the circle, it can be full and empty at the same time. You have full free will to and choice to form your own world as one filled with love, compassion, integrity, vision, and to do great works. When governed by the 0 Challenge, do not take this time lightly. Nurture your desire to make the world a better place in consideration of your Destiny Number and the higher laws of universal order. The person with a 0 Challenge is said to have an 'old soul,' especially if you carry a master number as his or her Soul Number. You are expected to make choices that honor a higher awareness and foster spiritual growth on the material plane.
Challenge 2 - FIVE (5): When 5 is your Challenge, you're learning to change and become more flexible. The love of changing rule can make others grow impatient and restless and desire freedom from rules and restrictions. Take a risk and loosen up despite the fear and confusion that change can bring. Learn to release yourself from restricting conduct that are limiting your creative energy.
Challenge 3 - FIVE (5): When 5 is your Challenge, you're learning to change and become more flexible. The love of changing rule can make others grow impatient and restless and desire freedom from rules and restrictions. Take a risk and loosen up despite the fear and confusion that change can bring. Learn to release yourself from restricting conduct that are limiting your creative energy.
Challenge 4 - TWO (2): One of the most common challenges, the number two stresses sensitivity to all human relations. One aspect of the two, as the symbol for duality, is that it requires constant vigilance to stay balanced in the juggle between two seemingly opposing forces. You will in time learn the balance point and how to maintain it by being sensitive and living in harmony with yourself and with others. The negative aspect of the 2 can deal with fear, timidity, or lack of self-confidence. A potentially painful Challenge, there may be a battle with subordination or unwarranted consideration paid to what others think. The value of this Challenge is that you become sensitive to the emotions and needs of others without sacrificing your own needs at the same time.
”If I did it right and 0 is my current challenge number, it could fit. I like to live life to its fullest and I always speak out for what I believe is right. I can see how this might have something to do with this,” Jason said.

Chester had given them enough time to make those calculations, so he announced, "Pack up. Lesson is over. No homework this lesson. I don't feel like correcting it. Just make sure you study the stuff." He doubted any of them would actually be ambitious enough to study anything on their own, but his distaste for correcting papers won over his desire to make his students spend half their evening calculating things. Lucky for the students!
