well since 99.3% of the population doesn’t even know what XXX would represent (something inappropriate in most peoples minds) i’d have to go with 30, it’s just more up to date with the times

Xii for 7,
Cavemen in the 1200s,
Sir clearly, you’re uneducated and just have to know it all. Half the things we learn won’t be applicable in a real-life setting.
I think i would find dumber friends or shut up and learn a thing or two, especially in cases where you go public …

This thread just shows how the quality of math education has declined… I’m pretty sure everyone who went to school pre 2000 learned this, even the non-nerds. DOn’t care if I’m “old” and proving it! This was really basic math when we were young, before even learning algebra.
And the “American” number system? How old was the good ole US again? :smiley:

We really need better things to do while waiting for the game to come back… still waiting for the pizza to arrive!
