Hello, Papaw. Do you mean they weren't paying attention, or that Roman Numerals are no longer taught in the schools? Regards, Lou

Our 9 year old grandson was over.  he asked what time it was.  Grandma says  "There's a clock right there".  Our clock has Roman numerals.  He says "I can't read Spanish".

True story- The other day our 13 year old granddaughter was asked  "Who invented Roman Numerals?" and she had no answer!

  Bill Houghton Yes that would be the normal process for roman numerals conversion. I just checked it on a roman numeral converter on Google and 443 is correct. How else would You do it?? :)
