Baldur

Good Morning, Baldur must intrude here, sorry for my abruptness.

LIX is 59, LX is 60
In the Roman Numeral system:
I=1
V=5
X=10
L=50
C=100
D=500
M=1000
You combine numbers to get larger ones always starting with the largest number left to right for this addition.
Examples are
III=3
VII=7
CVI=106
To avoid long strings of numbers you may abbreviate particularly long combinations by writing them a different way.
IX is 1 before 10 so it equals 9.
The clue in reading these properly is in noticing use of a smaller number in front of the larger number. So...
IX(=9 is) a shortened form of VIII
LIX(=59) is a shortened form of LVIII
CCCXC(=390) is a shortened form of CCCLXXXX
MCM(=1900) is a shortened form of MDCCCC

MMMCMXLIV= 3944.........
3900(MMMCM)+40(XL)+4(IV)
If not shortened the same number would be written as MMMDCCCCXXXXIIII

In Roman Numerals there is no 0 and the largest single digit given is M(1000).

Thank you

lol..... well it's useful info to have all in one spot! (Now if TD would just --in their spare time-- set up a forum Search function...)

zum - I'm soooo in favor of this theme! I've got half a dozen photos composited for it, lying open on my computer, tempting me daily to come play here in TD.... but the guilt... noooo time noooo time noooo time 'til after year-end....

and Baldur - darn it --draw! your stuff is so good when you do, and you love flowers!
