Have you ever dug into the chronicles of the Crimson Codex, that 14th‑century grimoire that supposedly turned a siege into a single day's battle? I’ve been tracing its numerology and I think there’s a pattern that could be really useful.

It’s not a mystical ritual, it’s a simple arithmetic lock. Every entry in the Codex lists a date and a number of troops; the number of days between the date and the recorded outcome equals the troop count divided by the square root of the number of letters in the city’s name. I’ve plotted the data and the correlation is a 0.92 r‑value. If you can apply that to your own intel—match the city name, get the date, calculate the figure—you’ll know how many attackers a given siege is likely to break out in. It’s a statistical shortcut, not fortune‑telling. Try it before the next engagement.

Sounds like a solid plan—just remember to keep the variables tight and the assumptions clear. Good luck.
