Due to the length of time Harold has had to remember the information, the GM assigns two penalty levels to Harold's Absentmindedness (now=6). Harold rolls 6 dice for his Mana and gets just 2 Ss. Since he needed 6 Ss to avoid failure, he failed his roll by 4 Ss. The GM judges that failing by this many successes means that not only did Harold forget the day and time of the meeting, but he actually "remembered" the incorrect location.
