Routine test

[trial]

The book says (pg 42):
"A test is counted as routine if the obstacle us half or less of the number of dice rolled.
...
Obstacle 3 tests are Routine for exponent 5 abilities."

5/2 = 2.5<3

Is this example wrong?

No.

[trial]

From the table obstacle 10 is Routine for 15 dice rolled.
15/2=7.5<10
10 is not half or less 15, why is it routine?
The table is inconsistent with what is written about diffculties before.
Am I not getting something here?

Always use the charts.

The math should never have been included, imo. So far, it's only confused people.

it gets funky in places because of the probability curve.

you're also ignoring the table heading on page 43: "though the guidelines above are correct, the table below shows exactly which obstacles count for what tests."
