I bet that's what the toilets on the Death Star looked like.

What exactly have you used Roman Numerals for since then?

Actually, quite a bit. A lot of academic things (like calendar dates when not using a Julian calendar), etc.

And, as has been pointed out, Olympics and Superbowls.

Oh, to contribute:

How about this clock:

hows that work?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

hows that work?

05:40:56

Each column represents a digit, and each light in the column represents 1, 2, 4, 8 from bottom to top, and you add the lit ones together per column. None in the first, 4+1=5 in the second, etc. It's that binary stuff like computers use.

Binary clocks FTW!

Dangit JetGirl,

Now I will be checking every roman numeral clock I come across.
You should start a movement.

Is this the movement you had in mind???

Roman numerals

OMG, I know what you mean. The huge decorative clocks in most stores and interior design places these days all have "4" as "IIII".
Makes me CRINGE!!

I have a Grandfather clock with roman numerals that is an antique from the 1700's. After this series of posts, I had to check it out.

Guess our forefathers that made clocks also used IIII instead of IV.
