I DONT GET IT MAN TOO HARD
I admier your teaters, they are always challenging.
I admire your typing skills.
whoa, hard. Nice job
Not "too hard", too wrong. Where in the world you get 151 (CLI) as a result for a division of 101 (CI) by 50 (L)? You divide CI by L you get II and a remainder of I, since romans don't have decimals.
