==Activities== ===Testing the King=== Several Diagram members are responsible for administering a binding daily intelligence test to King Taravangian. The results of this test ~~determines~~determine his ability to serve as king, offer binding commentary on the Diagram, interact outside of supervision, change governmental policy, and pass judgement in trials.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} [[Dukar]] is the head of the [[King's Testers]], often assisted by other stormwardens, presumably also members of the Diagram. [[Adrotagia]] and [[Mrall]] have also observed the King's Testing, and his room maid [[Maben]] has also been present. The test consists of an increasingly difficult series of math problems, with the King's abilities determined by how he performs. His decisions will be restricted for the day if he performs too badly (because he is too unintelligent), but also if he performs too well (because he is too uncompassionate). At one point in Oathbringer, Taravangian cheats his test by claiming to be unable to solve the next problem, when he is really able to.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|5}} Adrotagia has used the data from Taravangian's test scores to show that his intellegence varies according to a statistical normal curve. From her calculations, she believes that another day of brilliance would be unlikely to occur more than once in two thousand years.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} ===Interpretation of Diagram===
