That question was poorly written, and my answer (76) has three letters the same in both written form and roman numeral form. That is how I read the question, but I guess MrD and I are not on the same wavelength as everyone else. God I hate that I am going to lose to Rush.

I sweated this one a lot, knowing that the rest of you ALSO wrote out all 50 and could have picked the 10th one from the end

We may not have interpreted it the way it was intended, but the wording definitely allows for our interpretation.

6. Name a number between 1 and 100 whose Roman numeral equivalent has 3 of the same letters in it (must submit answer as a Roman numeral)

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ...

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Tue Jul 07, 2015 2:22 pm

Yeah, I still fail to see where the ambiguity lies with that question.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Jul 07, 2015 2:26 pm

Now I'm really confused, because you rejected my initial answer of tI-IrI≡I≡

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Jul 07, 2015 2:27 pm

"Name a Roman Numeral containing the same letter three times" would exclude our answer. The way its written allows for the interpretation of matching "a number" to its "roman numeral equivalent".
