you get 6?
i saw your roman numerals but it still makes no sense to me.
Thanks again!
Like, XX is 2 numerals, right? And XXI is 3. And VI is 2. V is 1. X is 1. Etc, etc, etc. Get it now?
Actually its this.
I is the roman numeral for 1, and it's one digit, so it stomps once.
II is the roman numeral for 2, and it's two digits, so it stomps twice.
III = 3, 3 digits, stomps three times
IV = 4, 2 digits, stomps twice
V = 5, 1 digit, stomps once
VI = 6, 2 digits, stomps twice.
and so on.
