What do Roman numerals designate in Arabic alphabets?
Q. I have noticed usage of these Roman numerals as substitutes of Arabic alphabets in some websites: 2 as 3 as 5 as 6 as 7 as 9 as Eg: al7amdulillah, 2alib, 3lm, 5ayf, 9abr. Are these correct? I am not an Arab, but I know the Arabic alphabet and their phonetics. These are based on my personal observations. Please provide corrections for mistakes and additions of abjad if necessary. Thank you.

How can I know all the roman numerals off by heart?
Q. From time to time in tests I get asked to write a roman numeral. I find this so hard though cause I don't remember any roman numerals off by heart, except for II, II, III, IV and the simple numbers. So how can I remember them off by heart?

A. You should NOT be learning Roman numerals by heart. Memorize the meaning of these, noticing the sequence! i v x l c d m, which mean 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000 Here's a memory aid: I (eye) looks like a one, X is the third letter of the French word for ten: dix, C (cee) is the slang name for a 100-dollar bill (C-note), and the first letter of the metric abbreviation for centimeter, the 100th part of a meter, M (em) is the metric system abbreviation for 1000, or the first letter of the metric abbreviation for millimeter, the 1000th part of a meter. If those aids don't help you, just forget them. After you memorize those (that might take you 10 minutes), then... You must know that the simplest RULE in Roman numerals is… [cont.]

Is there a way to incorporate roman numerals into a tattoo?
Q. I'm considering getting a set of roman numerals tattooed (they represent an important date to me). Is there a way to incorporate this into a tattoo? I love stars and lillies, but I'm not sure how either of these would look with roman numerals. Any ideas? I would be ok with just getting the numbers on my body in a fancy script, but I'd really prefer something else to embellish the letters. The letters are ixixmmviii by the way. Thanks! I'd like ideas and suggestions.

3 is half of 8, what secret society hacked this cryptic clue in our Arabic Numerals and why?
Q. Davinci was not the only one to encrypt secret messages. Our Arabic numerals is an example-- half of 8 is 4, but only in the mathematical sense (for those right brained thinkers). The Graphic sense (for those left brain thinkers) show us another side, in this case half of 8 is 3. When counting from 1-10 and straight along your fingers (given that you have the standard 10) you will find that 3 and 8 each land on a middle finger. Is this coincidence, or a secret code? Lets explore. The numbers 3 and 8 were changed from their original Arabic characters around 1800 years ago. This is also interesting: Early Pagans -- fertility cult worshipers were often persecuted for their beliefs-- mainly because they worshipped a femal deity equal to that… [cont.]

What is the correct way to write 4 in Roman numerals?
Q. I have noticed lately than most clocks w/Roman numerals use III, but in my math books (I have taught for 40 years) the correct way is IV. Is the III a newer way or is there another explanation?
Asked by oldteacher - Sat Sep 26 13:09:45 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is one reason why III is preferable to IV, and it may have caused the change. On the other side of the clock dial the VIII is the heaviest number, consisting of four heavy strokes and one light one, as it is usually made. It would destroy the symmetry to have the IV with only two heavy strokes on the other side. Thus III with four heavy strokes is much to be preferred. The change may therefore have been made for reasons of symmetry. John313181, IX is only 3 positions away from XII, whereas IV (or III if you like) is 4 positions away. VIII is the same distance from XII as IV (III). However, for reasons other than clockmaking, I agree IV is preferable and more logical than III.

How do you write the number 786 in mayan numerals?
Q. How do you write the number 786 in mayan numerals
Asked by Harold Francis Callahan - Sat Jun 6 21:05:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. In Mayan numeration, the first position is the 1s, then the 20s, then the 360s. 786 has 2 360's in it. If we subtract these off, we are left with 786 - 2 * 360 = 66. 66 has 3 20's in it. If we subtract these off, we have 6 left. So 786 contains 2 360s, 3 20s, and 6 units. So the Mayan numeral for this would be: * two dots horizontally, representing two groups of 260 * below this, three dots horizontally, representing three groups of 20 * below this, a horizontal line with a dot above it, representing 6 units. (The horizontal line represents five units, and the dot represents the one remaining unit.)

Why are Arabic numerals thick and thin in different places from the alphabet?
Q. Thick and thin in the alphabet is like holding an old reed pen so that vertical and descending diagonal are thick, while horizontal and ascending diagonal are thin. But in the Arabic numerals 2, 3 (flat-topped), 5 and 7, the horizontals are thick. Why is this?
Asked by Xamanator - Sat Jul 29 22:48:33 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is a reason behind this because in olden days they didn't have pens or pencils that we use today. All they used to write with was some hand-made pens made out of dried slim shoots of bamboos by cutting the edges of tip with sharp knife. They would cut the tip of the shoot in the shape of a nip i.e.not pointed but flattend on the tip with thin width just like the bigger version of ink pen's nip.But of course their pens used to be big and long and highly decorated with feathers etc.just to give a royal look. Perhaps the first Arabic writer also used the same kind of pen to write Arabic that's how it gave those thick and thin letters. It's just a common sense. You could try one it 'll surely be more or less the same fonts style.

A. There is a reason behind this because in olden days they didn't have pens or pencils that we use today. All they used to write with was some hand-made pens made out of dried slim shoots of bamboos by cutting the edges of tip with sharp knife. They would cut the tip of the shoot in the shape of a nip i.e.not pointed but flattend on the tip with thin width just like the bigger version of ink pen's nip.But of course their pens used to be big and long and highly decorated with feathers etc.just to give a royal look. Perhaps the first Arabic writer also used the same kind of pen to write Arabic that's how it gave those thick and thin letters. It's just a common sense. You could try one it 'll surely be more or less the same fonts style.

Q. Should this be stopped, and is Obama to blame? Warren S and Helios, dammit, don't ruin my fun! Fortunately right-wing morons are to righteous to read other answers before jumping to the trap and exposing their utter ignorance - see #6 Starship Pain! And E: there's a third option: 3) your a priggish bore who hasn't gotten in up now for a few years.

A. What happens if you get divorced? EDIT: Not that I don't have faith in marriage, but, really, five years isn't a long time. I just think about the many people who come to my shop to get names, symbols, and dates covered because they got divorced.
