Ahhh, the wonders of holidays, and missing the sound of old threads
being resurrected :)

I did play a bit in telling 3, and it's a bit more complex (of course,
it's ATitD, after all) than that.

It's actually the reverse of my old proposal. In the original model
I devised, what you do determines the level you are. You can attempt
anything, if you succeed, you gain in levels. In ATITD3's levels,
you cannot attempt test A unless you first gained level N, presumably
by getting skills B & C and demonstrating principle D...

(it's hazy, I've dropped out - again - of ATITD some time ago)
