I really, really fail to see a point to this one
this may fit better in trick...but otherwise quite nice.
The answer was a little long-winded but it was an OK attempt.
What difference does it make if you remove I and V to the main answer. I assume that's your way of leading the reader to removing the letters, but to make that more clear, you need to identify that there is a link between four and five that will lead us to the answer. I think this could be a great puzzle, but as it stands, I think it's a bit too obscure.
