Jack's speed when jumping up

Check. But...which boxes? Again, the numbers produce different speeds depending on which creature/platform they're applied to. Saying

Jack's speed is 4

doesn't mean much, because if you tell a bird to go

4

and a Medusa to go

4

, the medusa will go much slower.

Granted, most critters share the same

speed numbers

as the platforms, so that's a sensible base. You can get a lot done with that, as long as you realize that some things won't work until you learn how to interconvert the speed numbers. I personally find it easiest to work in PPF (or TPF), but if that's hard to understand you could get by with a few multipliers to interconvert the different speed numbers.
