Gimme some points!

Kumpel · Wed 27/01/2016 13:00:36

solution: points for letters in a posting resembling roman numbers.

Cassiebsg · Wed 27/01/2016 13:10:54

Ah, sounds about right! Good spotted!

i=I = 1
c=C = 100
m=M = 1000

Guessing V is 5...

Kumpel: I'm going to need to need more detail (there are several variants). If you can give me the correct score for the phrase "Dames, knights and fox killers.", I'll assume you know what's going on.

Solution: One point for i(I), 4 points for iv(IV, maybe "iV", "Iv", "i v", "i V" and "I V" too...), 5 points for v(V), 9Points for ix(IX and so on...), 10 points for x(X), 40 points for xl (XL...), 50 points for l(L), 90 Points for xl(XL...), 100 points for c(C), 400 points for cd(CD...), 500 Points for d(D), 900 points for dm (DM...), 1000 points for m(M).

That better be right!

The "i" in killers shouldn't effect the following "l", so it should be 1+50+50. I don't see any other troublesome combinations. ^^
so the score should be:
500+1000+1+500+10+1+50+50 = 2112

Kumpel: I'm sorry. These values are all over the place. Which part of Rome did you get your numerals from?
