| Please, what is CXVLV111 (The Game) meant to be in real numbers?
C=100. OK. X=10. V=5. But are we adding X & V to C to make 115, then adding LV111 (58) = 173 (CLXX111)? Or taking them from following L (keeping C) to make 145 plus8 = 153 (CL111) Or are we adding them to L and V111(8) to make 158? (CLV111) Or..... I'm totally confused now. Dido |

| Dido, I think the last Game had an extra V in it. It should have read CXLVIII . . . and I never noticed despite seeing it every day. C=100 XL=40 VIII=8 So the next Game will be CXLIX . . .or something very similar |

| Thanks for addressing the Roman numeral question dido and vee. I was ready to face the wrath of the gods and go to Indo-Arabic numerals - perish the thought! |

| Thank you, Vee. I know - after I'd posted, I thought to check back to your previous thread and that made perfect sense. It certainly will be CXL!X, next, and I'll do something about that betimes. Dido |
