minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 month agoAshamed to say I had to look that up. I can usually figure Roman numerals pretty quick. :( I’m losing it as I age. Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
minus-squaredoctordevice@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 month agoHow did I never know that 666 in Roman numerals was just descending letter values starting with D? That’s very cool, and makes me wonder if that is part of its origin.
minus-squaretaiyang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 month agoTIL, too, but it makes sense. Romans used 5 a lot so with 6 being just one number higher, you get that cascading one removed in the digit. DCLXVI also sounds pretty cool. Middle school me would have loved to go by \666DCLXVI666// or some such nonsense, lol.
