Many actions and situations require one or more of the Action Charts. There are three charts: The Square chart, the Sphere chart, and the Doubles chart.
There are two ways of reading the Action Charts. You can read from one of the charts to the Results column, or from the Results column to one of the charts.
When looking up a number on an Action Chart, look up the largest number that is still less than or equal to the reference number, and read to the result. If you are looking up 42 on the Sphere Chart, the largest number that is still less than or equal to 42 is 32. The result is 13. (This result, by the way, is often considered a part of the answer to, well, everything.)
