You could have really fooled everyone and wrote :- 6=W of HVIII.
Nice to see one we Brits understand. Is it true that some Americans think Malcolm X was the tenth King of England called Malcolm??
I doubt it (on the Malcolm X comment), unless they are being smart-asses.
But you never know what kind of wise cracks might come up on a high-school history exam if the students don't know the right answer.
On Mad-Ade's comment: I thought of doing it that way (or W. of H. the V.), but I thought
that it would either make it too much of a give-away (if I spelled out the roman numeral) or too
confusing (if I abbreviated it). I'm glad some folks liked this one!
