Counting Game (Roman Edition)

Mageheart · 2022-03-08T14:37:42Z

This is just like the counting game thread, but the catch is that you can only count with Roman numerals. I'll start! I Edit: Confused on how Roman numerals work? Don't worry! @MailicedeNamedy has you covered. Here's an explanation from a post she made later on in this thread. The first numbers are easy: I II III 1,2,3 5= V 10 = X 50 = L 100 = C 500 = D 1000 = M The numbers are counted. We are now at CXLVII which is C+(X-L)+V+I+I If the letter is smaller than the next one, you subtract it. Especially in large numbers, it can be hard. MCMXCIV stands for 1994 Remember the numbers from above: 1000 (M)-----------------1000 C-M (100-1000)---------+900 X-C (10-100)-------------+90 I-V (1-5)------------------+4 =1994

I seriously had a teacher who let us cheat and of course, it stood out that everyone wrote an A there in the exams. He even once told a student who didn't want to cheat that she could look up an answer during the exam...

On Fridays, he would call in sick so as not to give lessons in the afternoon and we would find him at the station in a bar...

But he was intelligent, though. Just lazy.
