-	Normally the Task of ~~inventing~~ the deNazification Serum has a Time Increment of 1 Week per cycle, so that Professor Wild would be able to roll 4 such Cycles in a Moon or 24 such cycles in 6 Moons. However, Professor Wild is a man of remarkable genius (and he has also found some leads that lowers the RD by 2, ''and'' receives assistance by the very skilled Reginald L. Abbott, Nobel laureate in chemistry, further lowering the RD by 1), and so his player decides that Wild would realistically decide to use the Working Much Faster option, speeding the process up by two Time Scale Steps in exchange for a +5 RD penalty (which of course is cumulative with the -2 RD bonus from the research leads he has found, and the -1 RD from expert assistance, and any Talent with the rolled-for-skill that Wild may have). This means that each cycle would take only 4 Hours, if one follows the TS Scale blindly, but actually the cycle time of 1 Week includes spending 2/3 of the time on other things, such as sleeping, eating, socializing and recreation (to avoid [[Sanity]] loss). Thus the actual time per cycle was never 1 Week, in a "true" sense", but rather 1/3 Week.

	If Professor Wild follows a normal work day schedule, he can put in 6 such cycles per Day, and still have 8 Hours for eating, recrating, sleeping, and his strenous regime of physical and intellectual exercise, but Wild is a dedicated hero, and the situation is urgent, and looking over the Professor's traits (including a Will of 9!) the GM concludes that Wild can spend 12 Hours a Day working on the project, and still have time for a couple of hours of exercise regime, and eating and 8 Hours of sleep per day.

	Finally, note that Professor Wild is an exceptional character (in terms of both stats and skills), ''and'' receives assistance from another character who is nearly as prodigously skilled in chemistry as Wild himself is, ''and'' has an RD bonus from some research leads he found while adventuring (specifically, he found one lead in the Antarctic Nazi Base, good for a -1 RD bonus, and another lead in Argentina when he apprehended and then hypnotiocally questioned Joseph Mengele, and then a third lead on Sicily where he found an Arabic translations of a lost treatise by Hypathia of Alexandria, with the last two leads being good enough to boost the RD bonus from -1 to -2).

	When changing the time increment of an activity, and touching or crossing the 1 Day-barrier, something important happens. Consider an activity that has a default time increment of 4 Hours. That's fine, do it twice in a day, that's 8 Hours. That's perfectly reasonable. Do it faster, it drops to 1 Hour, and you can do it 8, even 10 or 12, times in a single day. Do it more slowly, however, and you touch the 24 Hour-barrier. 1 TS step more slowly means the activity now takes 24 Hours instead of 4 Hours, and most characters need to sleep for a substantial period of time per day (or meditate, or recharge their electrical batteries, or undergo maintenance).

-	This means that the activity, with a default increment of 4 Hours, cannot be performed seven times in a ~~week~~ 1 step slower than normal, unless the character is a [[Lich]] or similar. He'll need to sleep (and probably also need to take a few additional breaks for the sake of [[Sanity]]).	+	This means that the activity, with a default increment of 4 Hours, cannot be performed seven times in a Week 1 step slower than normal, unless the character is a [[Lich]] or similar. He'll need to sleep (and probably also need to take a few additional breaks for the sake of [[Sanity]]). Most likely the character can actually only perform that activity once per 2.5 or 3 Days, at that speed (1 step slower), if he's Human and relativly normal. Not once per Day.

-	Instead, when moving an activity that takes under 1 Day up on the scale, i.e. in the direction of slowness, keep track of the number of Hours, and then determine how many Hours per Day the character can actually dedicate to the activity, taking his individual traits into account (i.e. he's robotic, she's a lich, he's madly obsessed with finishing the project, she's a felinoid and they need 12 Hours of sleep per Day) for the sake of realism.	+	Instead, when moving an activity that takes under 1 Day ''up'' on the scale, i.e. in the direction of ''slowness'', keep track of the number of Hours, and then determine how many Hours per Day the character can actually dedicate to the activity, taking his individual traits into account (i.e. he's robotic, she's a lich, he's madly obsessed with finishing the project, she's a felinoid and they need 12 Hours of sleep per Day, or he has an extremely high Will attribute) for the sake of realism.

-	The same goes for activities ~~with an activity~~ that has a default increment of 1 Week or longer but which is performed faster (thus moving down on the scale) so that it move to touch or go under the 1 Day-barrier. Since this means that the activity can quite possibly be completed in one stretch (with minimal [[bio-breaks]] for bathroom, food, hydration and stretching), the activity can often then be performed rather faster than one would assume. Again, the solution is to calculate the number of Hours, and see what the character, ~~analyed~~ as an individual, can realistically accomplish.	+	The same goes for activities that has a default increment of 1 Week or longer but which is performed ''faster'' (thus moving ''down'' on the scale) so that it move to touch or go under the 1 Day-barrier.
