Today's featured game will help you to learn and remember Roman Numerals. Roman numerals are still used in various contexts. For example, on the internet the abbreviation "CPM" might seem like it refers to "Clicks Per Million" but the M is actually referencing the Roman Numeral M which stands for one thousand. So the term CPM refers to Clicks Per Thousand, not Clicks Per Million.
The Roman Numeral system is fairly easy, but since it's a reltively archaic counting system it's not hard to get rusty on it. Fortunately a few minutes of practice with it should help you to solidify the Roman Numeral system in your memory.
