The reduction, written out
In the Pythagorean column the letters add to 28. Reduce that: 2 + 8 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The name number is 1. In the Chaldean column the same nine letters add to 24, and 2 + 4 = 6. Same brand, same spelling, two different answers — because the two systems disagree about R, O and S, not because one of them made a mistake.
