We often use Arabic numerals, so we know a lot about them. But how much do you know about Roman numerals?
Actually, we still use Roman numerals today. One place where we often see Roman numerals is the clock face. The hours are marked as = 1 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT I to = 12 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT XII .However,there is something strange about these Roman numerals. If you look at four, it is IIII instead of = 4 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT IV on some clock faces. I think that this is because some numerals are upside down so that thy can follow the edge of the clock face round. You can easily get = 4 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT IV and = 6 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT VI muddled up when they are the right way up. It is even worse when they are upside down! The problem of = 11 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT XI and = 9 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT IX is different from the problem of = 4 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT IV and = 6 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT VI , because they are more or less the right way up. In fact ,the Romans never had clocks like this. This type of clock was invented later.
