Or it’s closer to Trick XOR Treat or, if we are realistic, Trick NAND Treat

If that was a plot twist in a story I would be like “why would that ever happen”. No offense tho

It would be so cool if the other half actually hangs somewhere else

Is this a dad joke?

I just don’t think so. I mean, sure, it’s a different context but I still feel like “there has no one been there before” just isn’t part of the meaning. Sure, “for the first time” is but it doesn’t include for whom. I just feel this is a weak point to make. “Marco Polo and the Discovery of the World” is a book by John Learner, who apparently thought the earth was uninhabited

I never understood this point. I can discover a crowded restaurant in downtown. Did other people know about it before me? Of cause, but no one I know

The original doesn’t have an extra check for 9 and it works for Roman->Indioarabic because it’s:

IX
->IVV
->IIIIV
->IIIIIIIII

But the other way around, you need an extra step for 9. That’s where our misunderstanding comes from.

That’s even more confusing because it doesn’t make it clear that it’s in November

Does 9 really work? Wouldn’t it be:

IIIIIIIII
-> VIIII
-> VIV

No Cum November just doesn’t have the right ring to it

Makes sense but it will fail at 9 (VIV) it would only work for 9 if the replace went from right to left or the V and IV statements were exchanged but in both cases, 6 would fail

Thanks. I knew something was off

True. Lost opportunity to blow things up with useless recursivity

Because there are better random generators

I don’t know what happens when the substring overlaps. Like for the number 6, will it replace the first 5 I’s with V and end up correctly with VI or the last ones and come to IV? I would guess the former and maybe you know but I never thought about it before

That doesn’t math up.
