Nope, it's still there, but I'm here for content in general over specific content. I do think your plan was better optimized though.

[X] I don't understand the Question – These boots are now your everyday boots. You will wear them at all times and use them freely. There should be no rules against this in place in the castle, because quite frankly, an item like this has never existed. Use the boots in any kind or form to have fun, for duelling club and whatever you have in mind. No further votes for when to use or not. The sky is yours to play with.

We could put both points into INT (putting it at 7, which is not "higher than 5 over the lowest attribute", but exactly five higher than the lowest attribute).
We would only loose out on Divination and Legilimency & Occlumency (which are CRT/EMP), for all other skills the immediate results would be identical (+2).

No skill can go higher than 5 points over one of the two attributes needed for it. While your attributes may be categorized by numbers, your skills are not. Use the following overview to see the counterparts of each grade: Outstanding (O); Exceeds Expectations (E); Acceptable (A). Fail Grades. Poor (P); Dreadful (D); Troll (T).
I always took that to mean that both attributes have to be 7 for a skill to get to 12.

Yes, but we'll have time to train CRE for one point before our next level up, at which point we'll be able to push it up to 7.
Where as if we put one point in INT and CRE each, our chances to get CRE one point higher before we next level up is worse.
edit:
It'll stretch out the training time a bit, I guess, since we'll still have to do the CRE training up to 5, before we can get DADA to 10, and then we'll have to wait till after the level up, for the last two points, but that's only a difference of one training action after the level up.

I was under the understanding that that "one of the two" means that only one of the skills needs to be a 7 for a skill to get to 12. Otherwise, it would say "both".

Fair, but I meant both. Will change it when I get time for it.

We'll level up this turn I believe regardless.

It should be "over any one of the two", I think. "Over both of the two" sounds more like the sum of the two attributes, which would be something completely different.
Yes, and both plans have an INT training in them, and INT and CRE are at 4 atm. So, assuming training works out, we could either get them both to 6 (with your plan winning) or CRE to 5 and INT to 6 (with the other plan winning) or let CRE stay at 4 and get INT to 7 (also with the other plan winning).
Difference between the last two approaches is that we loose +1 on two skills that depend on CRE but not on INT and will have to take one more training action for DADA after the next level up, if we want to get it to 12. In turn we will have to train CRE from 4 to 5, instead of from 5 to 6.
This one level up wont get us to 7 in the attributes any way. (We do get two point per level, right??)

I think this is like the fifth extremely contested vote. Vote going to stay open at least another 14 hours. Let's see what happens.

With the clarification that we need both of the Stats in a related skill to be at least within 5 levels, I was looking at the two leading plans.
Plan "This train has no brakes v4" is very, very aggressive and is going to have long-term consequences of us almost constantly risking running into the Stat wall- and probably crashing into it.
Allow me to explain:
Under "This train has no brakes v4", the expected DADA is going to be10 9 (it is at 6 right now, with 2 from training and the +1 from Ravenclaw that is 10 9).
But, we are currently at CRT/INT at 4. For us to not lose the +1 Ravenclaw bonus, we would need to increase BOTH CRT and INT. Now, the plan has both training...which is an approx. 36% chance of both succeeding. Well, this turn, if that fails, we have a pretty good probability of a level up...at which point we MUST put 1 point into CRT and/or INT. This cycle, we are within the stat line. However, the bonus comes every 5 months in during the school year.
But...what about the next +1 Ravenclaw bonus at the end of the year? To get that, we need to have another level up or spend lots of actions (or be luckier than we have been) to get CRT and INT to6 5. Not too bad...so far. It really starts to come to a head in year 4 year 5 and gets worse in year 6.
From thestart middle of year 4 year 5, we would have to get a +1 Stat to each of: CRT, INT, CON, EMP every 5 months from then on or else we would hit the Stat wall. Now, in year 4 and start of year 5, we might get away with actions to increase CON and EMP...but by middle of year 5 6, we would probably need 2 level ups per 5 months in order to keep up. Note that it gets harder to level up every time we level up.
But, that is excluding the skill requirements once we reach level 12 in DADA inmid-point end of year 4. Before the end of year 4 middle of year 5, we need to have 4 other skills at level 12 in addition to increasing the 4 stats by +1.
In year5 6, we would need an additional 3 skills at level 12 and approx. 4 3 level ups or very good luck. This is, of course, not counting any spells we want to learn, potions we want to brew, or Alchemy we want to build.
Unless we want to agree that we will give up the +1 benefit from Ravenclaw in DADA...a less aggressive plan would be advised.
Edit: Changed from start of year 4 to mid of year 4 for having to increase EMP and CON.
Edit 2: Changed to 3 level ups in year 5.
Edit 3: Pointed out we will be Potions 9 under plan. Changed in order to reflect corrected estimations.
