[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

[aeolian]

8. MD

[Endangered Specie]

19. MD or I-barD

[aeolian]

2. XV with a bar over it.

15 x 1000

:)


EDIT: well, yeah, a bar over the "XV"...both numerals

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. It's an X with an underline and a V with an underline.

[auntAgonist]

4. well

XV = 15, (X-bar)(V-bar) = 15,000

there would be a bar over the X and a bar over the V

[merh]

5. 15,000

4. A bar placed on top of a letter or string of letters increases the numeral's value by 1,000 times.

XV = 15, (X-bar)(V-bar)= 15,000

7. Roman numerals per se stop at 1,000.

Ten thousand is an M with a bar over it. One of those, for which there is no HTML or ASCII version, plus 5 regular M's, I reckon...

More likely, for big numbers, the Romans would have used words: quindecim milia.

9. They put lines over the Ms and Ds and Cs however

There's this great new system called Hindu-Arabic that is getting rave reviews! I would definitely check it out!

10. Yes!

A great lady Roman mathematician got done in for saying the ZERO was a great idea!
So much for lady mathematicians!

11. The Mayans were way ahead of her

[burrowowl]

14. Yes

like the Babylonians base 60 instead of 10.

[burrowowl]

16. Hell of a lot of posts!

Do the number in hexa, binary, 60base, octo for fun!

Congrates!

[Kenneth ken]

17. yes I am

but I haven't bought any more, so I'm still listening to Kite & Tropical Brainstorm.

Tonight I have the pc playing random songs, and it seems to be playing a lot of Commander Cody the past twenty minutes or so.

That's really the setting I like best. The music goes all over the place in terms of genre.

From Commander Cody (Don't let Go) to the Clash (Hateful) as I type this. And James Brown up next.

:woohoo:

edit: I remembered I bought Joe Jackson's Afterlife cd over the weekend. So now I'm giving it a first listen.

20. Well, according to this website,

http://www.novaroma.org/via_romana/numbers.html

it's MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, but I suspect the Campbell's Soup people may have something to do with that.

[giant_robot]

21. But according to *this* website

http://jclcds.tripod.com/converter.html

it's xv with a line over it. I think I'll go with the latter.

24. I once calculated how long it would take me to reach 10,000 posts,

given that I post at the same rate that I have over the past year. At my current rate, I should reach 10,000 in March of 2015. 15,000 in seven months is quite an achievement! :yourock:
