No, technically that is taking an I away from 10, not a 1, since your whole riddle is based off of that trick.
i was thinking (-9)-1=(-10)
Isnt I – IX 1 – 9, not 9 – 1?
Shouldn’t the answer read IX (9) – I (1)?
Shouldn’t the answer read IX (9) – I (1)?
Even in its corrected form (IX - I), the answer would be VIII.
trick!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got this one very quickly.
