The country of Esmos has a proud tradition of raising the children of its noble houses into powerful mages who wield all manner of control over the magic that runs through the world. To this end, the most magically adept (and, typically, richest and most well-bred) children are sent to the prestigious White Oak Academy. Here, they learn how to get along and more importantly, how to mingle and socialize in high society. Etiquette and history classes are held alongside magical theory and combat and it's impossible to tell just which is more dangerous – the magic the students are learning to control or the social circles they're expected to begin navigating. Still, White Oak is known through the land for a reason and with nobles and royalty in attendance, the security and care taken in protecting their students make this the safest place in all of Esmos. Surely nothing could go wrong in a place like White Oak.

[She'll smile gently.]

So when you divide there, then add the three, what do you get?

[Judging by the look on Dulcie's face, she feels that Aunt Sally ran out of excuses a long time ago, and should probably be legally prosecuted.]

[But she dutifully erases the incorrect answer and painstakingly redoes the work, in the correct order this time.]

Ah, then it must be...? [She holds up her paper, with the right answer finally written in.]
