AbabeBill Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Very chic, and I like the clock too. But the young crowd won't know what time it is on you clock! LOL, they don't teach Roman numerals anymore. 1 Link to comment
Rockies Fan in Diapers Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I agree with AbabeBill. Just like Cursive writing. Young Kids will say "it's a clock, but I can't tell what time it is" LOL. Link to comment

rusty pins Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ever since I was a little kid I wondered why clock manufacturers who use Roman Numerals never (or very seldom) get it right! 1 Link to comment

We can kinda blame the educational system as a whole too, especially where grammar is involved (like in the Grammar Pet Peeves topic). I've heard of smart phones being required in middle schools now, which I find completely idiotic. To me that's just asking for kids to be goofing off on their phones and cheating with them in classes. 1 Link to comment
kimchikid Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 another way of looking at it is by using I in the first 4 numbers, V in the second 4 numbers and X in the last 4 creates radial symmetry, oh and nice room btw Link to comment

Let us imagine that you are a Roman Centurion listing 10 points to your soldiers. Hold your left clenched fist, with the thumb covering the fingers towards you and raise your first finger as you mention the first point. Holding your ring and little finger beneath your thumb, you can raise your middle finger for the second point and holding down your little finger, make the third point by raising your ring finger. Releasing your little finger you have the llll that you see on the clock face. Bringing the fingers together and extending the thumb makes V, the Roman 5. Still holding the V of your left hand, as you continue raising the first finger on your right hand, the soldiers see V, followed by I for 6; and so on. Yes VIIII is 9, With fingers together and right thumb extended as a second V, by inverting the right hand below the left, an X, the Roman 10 is formed. Tilt the hand a little and a V becomes L for 50, then slightly curl the fingers and thumb to form a C for 100. I can't explain how they chose M for 1,000 when it is easier to make W. Link to comment
