Roman Numeral Challenge - IceyLava108 - 23-Apr-2012
Give me any Roman Numeral less than 5,000 and I will solve it without any help.
For those who have little to no experience with Roman Numerals:
I - 1
V - 5
X - 10
L - 50
C - 100
D - 500
M - 1000

Quote:This is not a valid roman numeral number; there is an M after the C, which is not a valid use of the number: Although you can put larger numbers such as X after a small number such as I, it cannot be used with thousands.
If you switched the M and C and then the C and D around like so:
MMMDCLV
The number will become 3,655.
And that's why I never should mess around with Roman Numerals.

Isn't CD valid? How would you express 400?
