Hmm... Should we start from the beginning again or keep going? I'm confused...

The subtractive principle has a few specific limitations. For instance, a numeral can only be placed in front of the two numerals that are closest to it in the Roman numeral system. That is, I can only be placed before V ( e.g. IV, or 4) and X (e.g. IX, or 9). It can’t be placed before L, C, D, or M. For example, in Roman numerals, 49 would be XLIX (50 – 10 = 40 and 10 – 1 = 9), not IL. Further, you can only place one smaller numeral in front of a larger one for subtractive purposes. For example, the correct way to write 8 is VIII, not IIX.

@Beam Anne We go up to 49 and will again start having discussion who's right and who's wrong! :(

OK, I will give this another chance. Let's hope we can pass the 49 without the fight this time.
