This is 243, so 244 should be: CCXLIV

It has been many many years since I studied this in school, and as someone once said, I think it was Bart Simpson, the only place this comes in handy is deciphering the dates on movies. That is precisely what I know how to do, so, as this doesn't look like a date, I'm going to have to do it "backwards". MCML means 1950 I think, so M=1000, C=100, and L=50. When a small number is to the left of a big number you have to subtract it. CC=200...The answer is 243.

The above is: "watching the Zangster thinking out loud"!  * grin *

That is right,(243) I thought this up during a superbowl ad and they use romans for the number of game it is.
I was going to do a harder one but thought I'd start out with an easy one.

I know what a roman numeral is, but I don't know what that particular roman numeral represents.

243.
For some reason, early 20th century biblical scholars were very fond of using Roman numerals, so I see them all the time. I'm getting pretty good at reading them quickly.

It isn't that I don't appreciate the special mention, but why are the accolades reserved for little old me?  * smile *

Only because when I started typing yours was the only answer there, I got distracted and then submitted it. I kinda wish we could reply to more tan one at a time.

I have something else to say. I don't know the answer. I know what one is, just not this one! Ha! That seems funny to me since I like numbers - but I am not good with Roman ones!

C = ONE HUNDRED
X = TEN
L = FIFTY
I = ONE
So my answer is 243


If you add the two CC's it =200
then you since the X(TEN) is before the larger L(FIFTY) you must subtract the the X(ten) from the L(fifty) making it 40
then you add the reminding 3 III's that comes out 243
