For a simpler example (Example A), try 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. For more of a challenge (Example B), try 232, 233, 234, 235, 236. For Example A, 15 x 5 = 75. For Example B, 236 x 5 = 1,180. For Example A, 75 - 10 = 65. For Example B, 1,180 - 10 = 1,170. For Example A, (11 x 5) + 10 = 55 + 10 = 65. For Example B, (232 x 5) + 10 = 1,160 + 10 = 1,170. As you can see, you end up with the same results. In Example A, 13 is the middle number, and 13 x 5 = 65. In Example B, 234 is the middle number, and 234 x 5 = 1,170. To do Example B in your head, remember that you can break it up: (200 x 5 = 1,000) + (30 x 5 = 150) + (4 x 5 = 20) = 1,000 + 150 + 20 = 1,170. Use x = (n x ((n + 1) / 2)) - ((a - 1) x (a / 2)), where x = the sum, n = the highest number, and a = the lowest number.  For Example A:  x = (15 x (16 / 2)) - (10 x 5.5) x = (15 x 8) - 55 x = 120 - 55 = 65   For Example B:  x = (236 x (237 / 2)) - (231 x 116) x = (236 x 118.5) - 26796 x = 27966 - 26796 = 1170

Summary: Pick any 5 consecutive numbers. Multiply the highest number by 5. Subtract 10 from your result to get the sum of the series. Use the lowest number instead by multiplying by 5 and adding 10. Compare your result to multiplying the middle number by 5. Use the formula to further confirm your result.


There are two styles of gameplay for Templars. The first is a more combat-based style, where you will be a damage dealer for your party, with a lesser focus on healing them.  If you want to do this style of gameplay, you'll want to focus on the skills in the Aedric's Spear tree (and to a lesser extent, Dawn's Wrath). Good weapons for this style of gameplay include two-handed and sword and shield. Points should be distributed mainly into magicka and stamina, but it will be important to have some points distributed into health as well, since your character will see some action. The more common role and better use of the Templar is as the party healer (this being the second style of gameplay for this class). Templars have many abilities which allow them to play the very crucial role of keeping everyone alive through a battle.  If you want to do this style of gameplay, you'll want to focus on the skills in the Restoring Light tree, though you can also pick up some of the others in order to defend yourself. A restoration staff will of course be a must have for this class, but you can also build your skills in another weapon as well, in order to maintain a basic ability to protect yourself. Almost all of your points should be going in to your magicka. Since there are a few spells which let you heal yourself as well, having a higher health will be much less of a concern and you should be doing very little attacking, making stamina a very minor concern. The light armor skills include bonuses to magicka absorption and your magicka pool, so it is best to put healing Templars in light armor. Heavy or light armor can be used for a combat-based Templar. The best use of your time, as a Templar, will be to support your allies by keeping them alive. This will usually mean healing, but it can also mean playing defense as well. This role requires you to be unselfish, and focused only on group success, not personal glory.

Summary: Be a fighting Templar. Be a healing Templar. Wear light armor. Support your allies.


Once your chicken has had time to soak up all the spicy goodness from the marinade, you're ready to finish the dish. Fill a large saucepan, deep skillet, or deep-fryer with the oil.  You've cut your chicken into small pieces, so the oil doesn't need to be too deep, but it should fill about 1/3 of the pan. The ideal frying temperature for oil is usually listed as around 365ºF (or 185ºC).  You can test the oil by dropping a cube of white bread into the oil. When it browns in fifteen seconds, your oil is ready. It's a good idea to begin with frying just one or two pieces of chicken. This will help you verify that the oil is hot enough and give you an idea of how long it will take to fry the chicken. If you don't want to risk messing up a whole piece of chicken you can cut one piece in half and use that.  If the oil doesn't cover the chicken piece entirely, be sure to rotate it after a couple of minutes. If you rotate too early, the chicken may stick, so allow for a crust to form. Once the chicken is browned and crisped remove it from the oil. Now cut it in half to make sure that it's cooked through. This should take about 5-8 minutes. Once you've finished frying your test pieces, continue frying the remainder of the chicken. Depending upon the size of your pan, you may want to do this in batches. If you fry in batches, place your finished chicken on a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. This will help soak up any residual oil and keep the chicken from getting soggy. Keep the oven on a very low setting, around 200ºF or 93ºC. If you fry in batches, you will need to allow the oil to get back up to temperature before adding a new batch. Your finished chicken could get cold in that time. Once you've fried all of your chicken pieces, garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves. You may also want to give the dish a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. All that you need to do now is enjoy this spicy savory treat!
Summary: Heat the oil. Fry a couple of test pieces. Fry the remainder of your chicken. Keep your finished chicken warm by placing the plate or baking sheet in the oven. Garnish and serve your Chicken 65.
