Build your own Hell

[Marc]

Ok, this forum can't let me paste in the code to see it properly, but you can go to the FACTS conversation board (http://unfacts.org/cgi-bin/social1.pl?read=41306) to see my example.

Just out of curiosity did you title the roman numerals, or was that done automatically?

The reason I ask is that you work on addition until the third iteration of a smaller number being added. Then you work on subtraction starting at one of the smaller number being subtracted.

Thus eight in roman is not "IIX" but is in fact "VIII".

Unless there is an alternate method I know nothing about.

I didn't do anything, someone else made this thing.

According to this site (http://www.roman-britain.org/numerals.htm):

"Note that subordinate subtraction was rarely performed with duplicated symbols. The numerals IIX and CCD are both syntactically correct, but would more properly be represented by VIII and CCC respectively."

Heh. That's pretty neat.

Why should I want to construct and populate such a thing? What sort of retard would feel a desire to make a Hell?

Oh yeah, fundies and their gods.

So be a nice guy and build one for them. You can put in the creationists, the fundies, anti-abortion fanatics, Phelps can get a level to himself if ya like.
