Junior Arithmancer
by Mike Spivey (2018)

A one-to-many-room puzzler.

action: %
response: Three people are standing in the lecture hall as you burst in, ten minutes late. The man's half-frown just manages the transition to a half-smile as he turns toward you.

"Ah, our first candidate in Arithmancy!" he says brightly. "I'm Morkan. The other members of your examining committee today are Teraboz" (the older woman nods in your direction) "and Berzia" (the younger woman gives you a tidy grin).

Fumbling in his robes, Morkan produces some pieces of paper. "Here are your number sheet, task page, and spell list," he says, handing them to you.

"Good luck!" he adds. Then he speaks an incantation while waving his arms in a complicated pattern. You feel yourself being translated.

As you fade out of the lecture hall, you hear Teraboz mutter, "That's our first candidate in Arithmancy? Great. Just great."

This austere space provides a quiet, distraction-free environment for examinations. Besides the sign on the wall and the slot below it, there is nothing in this room. Not even an exit.

An awful screeching noise echoes through the space.

"What in the name of Yottaboz is that sound?" yells Teraboz.

"Sorry about that," Morkan's voice breaks through. "I just turned on the magical observation system in the testing area. It's quite new. There; that's better." The noise cuts out.

action: Math
response: You try to remember what you know about the numbers on the number sheet.

The first nine numbers are irrational, which means they have infinite decimal expansions. The tenth number, Gamma, is thought to be irrational, but nobody has managed to prove that yet. The values given on your number sheet consist of the first several digits of each of these numbers. The numbers appear to be truncated (rather than rounded) five places beyond the decimal.

Pi is what you get when you divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter. Somewhat surprisingly, it's the same value no matter the size of the circle.

If you put $1 in a bank that pays 100% interest per year, compounded continuously, you'll have $E at the end of the first year. Also, E to the power of x and its constant multiples are the only functions that are their own derivatives.

The square root of 2 is the number that, when squared, gives 2. Similarly for the square roots of 3 and 5.

Phi is also known as the golden ratio. Suppose you take the sequence of numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ..., where each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. (This sequence is known as the Fibonacci sequence.) The ratio of a number in this sequence to the one just before it tends to Phi as you get further in the sequence.

Ln(2), or the natural logarithm of 2, is the power you raise E to in order to get 2. It's also the value of 1/1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/4 + 1/5 - 1/6 + ...

If you add up 1/1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + ..., where the numbers in the denominators are the perfect squares, then Zeta(2) is the result. Its value is equal to Pi*Pi/6.

If you add up 1/1 + 1/8 + 1/27 + 1/64 + ..., where the numbers in the denominators are the perfect cubes, then Zeta(3) is the result.
Nobody knows whether its value can be expressed in terms of Pi.

Gamma is the most complicated number on your sheet. A geometric way of thinking about gamma is as follows. Suppose you have n rectangles. Each has width 1, but they all have different heights: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and so forth, up through 1/n. The area of all these rectangles together is an approximation of the area under the graph of 1/x as x ranges continuously from 1 to n. As n gets larger and larger, the error in this approximation tends toward Gamma.

Putting this geometric interpretation into symbols gives an algebraic view of Gamma: The error in the approximation of Ln(n) by the sum 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n tends to Gamma as n gets larger and larger.

"I think I saw the candidate flinch when you turned on the observation system," says Berzia. "Are you sure we can't be heard?"

"Of course I'm sure," says Morkan. "O.K., so the Oversight Council's cuts to the academic budget meant I couldn't afford to hire a Technomancer to do the installation. Instead, I did it myself. I used to teach Technomancy, though, so it wasn't too difficult."

1. This examination requires that you reproduce the numbers on your number sheet by casting appropriate sequences of basic spells in Arithmancy.

2. Additional spells will be provided as you make progress through the exam.

3. An Arithmancy spell's effect will only be provided on the spell list once you prove you understand the spell. For the purposes of this exam, successfully using a spell to make progress on a number constitutes proof that you understand that spell.

4. Completing tasks listed on your task page will also earn you points on your exam.

5. No outside spell books, scrolls, potions, wands, or other aids are allowed in the examination area.

6. When done with your exam, please cast the END spell to leave the examination area.

The tinny voice says, "Congratulations! For completing a number sequence, you have earned five more points on your exam!" A new spell token materializes in your inventory.

The tinny voice adds, "You have completed one of the numbers on your number sheet. There is no more progress to be made with this sequence of digits. Please consider returning to the examination room to begin a new sequence."

"You know, I've seen enough," Morkan says. "I would support passing the candidate at this point."

"Why?" asks Berzia. "The candidate has only completed one number!"

There is a brief pause.

"Assistant Vice Dean Merlena really wants her new pet project to succeed," Teraboz says thoughtfully. "She's putting pressure on you to pass this candidate, isn't she?"

"No!" says Morkan quickly. "That's not it at all. I just think that for a new subject we need to, uh, be sure we don't make the entrance requirements so demanding that we scare away a lot of students. In a few years, after we have enough students enrolled, we can raise the requirements."

"But what about upholding the Academy's standards?" demands Teraboz.

"Do I really need to justify my vote?" Morkan snaps. "We're supposed to give independent assessments of the candidate's
performance!"

"I haven't seen Professor Mivey around," Berzia says, changing the subject. "Whatever happened to him?"

"Remember how he would often miscast the SLU spell during class and put everyone in the room to sleep?" responds Teraboz.

"Of course," laughs Berzia.

"Well, once he did it when Merlena was visiting his class. She fell out of her chair and hit her head. When she woke up she was so mad that she fired him on the spot."

"Wow," says Berzia.

"On the bright side," adds Teraboz, "Merlena had a nasty bruise on her forehead for almost two weeks."

Teraboz says, "Oops."

"I thought we had ordered fireproof paper stock for the entrance exams?" asks Berzia.

Morkan replies, "Well, with the cuts to the academic budget this year, I had to economize. I can probably come up with a temporary fix, though..."

He materializes in front of you, holding another piece of paper. Then he mutters an incantation. The paper glows briefly.

An intense young man is here. He turns to you with a look of surprise. "Begone!" he says after a moment. "You are not worthy."
He waves his hand at you.

There is another brief flash of light, and you find yourself back in Zero.

"Oooh, that was interesting," says Teraboz. "Worth a bonus point, I think." Your task page glows briefly.

"Did you forget to cast the finitude spell on the testing area?" Morkan asks.

The tinny voice says, "Congratulations! For completing a fourth number sequence, you have earned five more points on your exam!" A new spell token materializes in your inventory.

"If you ask me, the Oversight Council is pandering too much to students," says Teraboz. "Swimming pools in dorms? Adding obscure areas of magic to the curriculum? What's next - handing out medals along with grades at the end of term?"

"I think you're being too harsh," responds Morkan. "Merlena's right: We really do have to compete for students in a way that we didn't just a century ago. All these new schools of magic popping up everywhere... We can't just sit back and rely on our reputation anymore."

"Merlena can kiss my rear end," says Teraboz. "She and the rest of the Oversight Council are going to end up turning the Academy into a finishing school for wealthy merchants' kids. With the changes they've made lately, we're already halfway there. Why, when I was a young witch this place had standards!"

There is a brief silence.

"What's wrong with calling ourselves 'witch' and 'wizard'?" asks Teraboz. "We've been using those terms for centuries!"

"Come on," replies Morkan. "You know the reason the Oversight Council forbid their use: Some of the students - and some of the younger faculty - find the female 'w' word offensive. And they have a point: It is more respectful not to refer to someone with a word that many, well, less magically-aware people use as an insult."

"But an outright ban?" retorts Teraboz. "I was calling myself a witch for 200 years before Merlena and most of the rest of the Council were even born. And now that's forbidden? Merlena doesn't care about respect or preventing offense - Merlena cares about power. If she can control what other people can and can't say, well, that's more power for her."

"Sometimes," responds Morkan, "I think you let your dislike of Merlena cloud your judgment."

The tinny voice says, "Congratulations! For completing a sixth number sequence, you have earned five more points on your exam!" A new spell token materializes in your inventory.

The tinny voice adds, "You have completed one of the numbers on your number sheet. There is no more progress to be made with this sequence of digits. Please consider returning to the examination room to begin a new sequence."

"I'm satisfied with what I've seen," says Berzia. "I'll vote for passing."

"Already?" asks Teraboz. "The candidate hasn't completed all the numbers yet!"

"But we're not looking for perfection," replies Berzia. "Just sufficient evidence of aptitude. And I've seen that with this candidate."

"That makes two out of the three of us then," says Morkan.
action: RET
response: There is a brief flash of light, and you find yourself in...

This austere space provides a quiet, distraction-free environment for examinations. Besides the sign on the wall and the slot below it, there is nothing in this room. Not even an exit.

Your spell list glows as your Arithmancy spells are restored.

The glow on your number sheet fades.

There is a loud "bang!" as a door in the lecture hall is thrown open, followed by a scuffling of feet.

"Assistant Vice Dean Merlena!" says Morkan. "What are you doing here? We're in the middle of an examination."

"It's Associate Vice Dean Merlena now," responds a new voice.
"The Oversight Council just approved my promotion. And this won't take long."

"Teraboz," she continues, "the Council's surveillance system has caught you flagrantly and repeatedly using language banned by the Council. Since you were already on probation, I have been authorized to carry out appropriate correctional action."

She casts a spell, and you hear a loud "Mmmph!", followed by gasps from Berzia and Morkan.

"The silencing spell should wear off in a day or so," says Merlena. "In the meantime, Teraboz, I suggest that you spend this time thinking about exactly how you found yourself in this situation."

Then you hear footsteps, followed by the door slamming shut.
action: Insert
response: You are too stunned by what you're hearing in the lecture hall to do anything.

"Teraboz! Are you all right?" asks Berzia.

"Merlena's gone too far this time," Morkan says.

The only response is the sound of a spell - muffled, but still clearly a spell. Then Teraboz's voice breaks though, slowly at first, but gaining strength as she continues to speak.

"That, Morkan," says Teraboz, "is what you said when Mivey was fired. But what did you ever do about it?"
action: Wait
response: You are too stunned by what you're hearing in the lecture hall to do anything.

"You broke a Council-backed silencing spell!" says Berzia. "How?!?"

"Let's just say," responds Teraboz, "that you could found an entire Academy on what Associate Vice Dean Merlena doesn't know
about magic."

"Your punishment will only get worse when Merlena finds out you broke her spell," says Morkan.

"Let's just finish this examination," Teraboz replies. "Then I'll deal with Merlena."
action: Insert
response: (the eleventh spell token in the slot)
You insert the token into the slot. There is a low hum, and your spell list glows briefly as ATE is added to it.

"That wasn't a particularly wise number to use with the DIV spell at this point," says Teraboz.

"On the contrary, it was quite rational," replies Morkan.

Teraboz and Berzia both groan.

"Well," says Teraboz, "with the numbers and the additional tasks the candidate has completed, I'm also satisfied with what I've seen today. I will vote to pass."

"A unanimous recommendation certainly will look good on the candidate's academic record," says Morkan.

"Do you think the candidate will try for a perfect score?" asks Berzia.

"That remains to be seen," replies Morkan. "But it's been at least a decade since someone achieved a perfect score on one of the Academy's entrance examinations."

response: SAVE"Is it really fair to allow this spell during an examination?" asks Teraboz. "Fair or not - it's Academy policy," replies Morkan.
action: End
response: You cast the spell. There is a brief flash of light, and you find yourself back in the lecture hall.

"Now that you've cast the END spell," says Morkan, "the committee must render its decision." He continues. "I think you've more than demonstrated enough basic aptitude to merit entrance to the Academy.
I vote 'Pass.'"

"While there is more that could have been done," says Teraboz, "I'm convinced the candidate deserves admission to the Academy. I vote 'Pass.'"

Berzia says, "I concur. Definitely 'Pass.'"

Morkan turns to you. "That makes the vote unanimous in favor of admitting you. Congratulations! Welcome to the..."

Before he can finish, the door to the lecture hall bangs open. A tall, stern-looking woman pushes her way into the room.

"I understand that the candidate has completed the exam," she says.
"I vote to pass."

"But you don't have a vote, Merlena!" exclaims Teraboz. "You're not on this committee!"

"The Oversight Council has recently decided that we need a representative on every examining committee," replies Merlena. "I will be serving on this one. And I vote to pass." Then she pauses.
A look of uncertainty briefly crosses her face.

"I see you have broken my spell, Teraboz," Merlena says slowly. "And I'm sure you would love to gloat about just exactly how you did it.

"But I really don't care. What matters more is that you have refused to accept both the Council's authority and the consequences of your actions. I take a great deal of pleasure then in what I am about to say.

"You're fi- CROAK!"

In place of the tall woman there is now a frog. Teraboz is standing above the frog, wearing a look of grim satisfaction.

"That gave me a great deal of pleasure, Merlena," says
Teraboz. "The spell should wear off in... well... actually, you'll need to find a prince to kiss you. Which is poetic justice, given your and the Oversight Council's recent political meddling. Good luck finding a prince now that the monarchy is in exile!" She laughs long and hard.

"By the way," Teraboz adds when she regains her breath, "I quit." She strides toward the door. On the threshold, though, she turns back.

"Welcome to the Academy," she says, and slams the door behind her.

This is not so much a physical place as it is the essence of the number one. An inky blackness fills the space.

The glow from your number sheet fades.
action: Cat fib
response: Nothing happens.

"Trying to combine CAT with FIB. Ugh." Teraboz sighs loudly.

response: Just before speaking you realize that instead of MUL you really meant TIM, so you say that instead.

"Using the TAC prefix only one digit into a sequence causes the spell to fail, right?" asks Berzia.

"The old version of TAC did that," replies Morkan. "But the newer version just uses 0 for the missing number. It's less discouraging for candidates who are trying to figure out what TAC does."
