A number appears; type it in Roman numerals and press Enter. You have 60 seconds.
How to play
Pick a range and a direction, then press Start. Each answer is checked when you press Enter and the next number appears at once. Lowercase and spaces are fine: "x iv" counts as XIV.
Only the standard form counts. IIII for 4 has the right value but is marked wrong, with a note, because the usual form is IV.
Tips
- Write one decimal place at a time: 1984 is M + CM + LXXX + IV.
- Four and nine are the only digits that use subtraction: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM.
- Start with 1–100 until you rarely miss, then move to 1–1000.

Common questions
How is the score counted?
Each correct answer is worth 100 points, plus a bonus that grows with your streak. A wrong answer resets the streak but does not cost time.
Can I type numbers instead of Roman numerals?
Yes. Choose "Roman → number" to read numerals and type digits, or "Both ways" to mix the two.
