Today I decided I would try and work out the speed of light in Roman Numerals… cos I clearly have no lyfe.

      Yes. That. Hahahaha. Thank you! I think I got it… idk though, once you get over 1 million it gets confusing… 😛

        I don’t even have any idea how to get to a million! Wait is that even possible? Hm, I think the only times I encounter RN irl is.. Ancient clocks and start/end pages of some books 😂

          It’s sort of possible? So I googled it obviously, and there are a few varying ways. The most common I’ve seen is to put dashes above your standard letters to multiply by 1000.
          Thus X with a dash over it = 10 k, and M with a dash = 1 Million.
          However, over that, I’ve seen either dashes above and on either side, or two dashes… to go up another level. But then I found this:
          https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vgT1vb0u_4Q/maxresdefault.jpg which sort of just confused me more but is still consistent with the two dash thing.
          So X with two dashes apparently = 10 Million.

            You are making me rethink my education – the purpose, limitation, application.. Would delve deeper but my head hurts and my bed calls 😂
