What sets I apart
- I repeats and subtracts
- I may be repeated up to three times, III being 3, and it can stand before V and X to subtract: IV is 4 and IX is 9.
- Doubled: 2
- Double it and you reach 2 (II): every letter of I simply doubles.
- Times ten
- Multiply by ten and each letter moves up one rank: I becomes X, the numeral for 10.
