Why do we use roman numerals to describe Super Bowls?
86718
Roman numerals are used because a football season starts in one year and finishes with the Super Bowl in the following year.  Naming the Super Bowl by the year would be confusing between the year the Super Bowl occurred versus the year of the associated regular season.

There is no such thing. You may be referring to Chapter 11, perhaps you confused it with a roman numeral 2

Let me clarify a few things that have been neglected to be cleared up.\n\nThe Super Bowl is the World Cup (for the soccer fans) of American Football.  The two best teams of American football (after going through and winning in a tournament style playoff - 10 teams play in the playoffs, whomever wins moves on, loser goes home) face off against each other to determine the best team in America.  \n\nThere's a lot of history - check out http://www.nfl.com for more details.\n\nIt's played in different cities every year - the officials of the NFL pick the city in advance. \n\nIt is played every year.  This is different than the World Cup which is played every 4 years, I believe.\n\nPeople do parties because it is one of the, if not THE, most popular sport to follow in America.  People cheer for their team if their team is in it, and there are gambling pools and because it's always on a Sunday, parties abound because people like to get together and watch sports, especially when it's a game of national importance.

In roman numerals I = 1 and V 5  the use of 1111 =4 because iv  represented the god Jove. The subtractive method of using iv came from more modern uses of the latin variations.  Also using 1111 on the clock creates a visual affect with the v111 on the other side and 1111 is easier to read sideways or upside down.   Check out 'roman numerals.com'

It's a way of expressing something in unitless terms.  Very important for statistics and probability.  Also useful for comparing two numbers of the same unit.

tisk tisk. Using wikipedia again. However, he was partially correct while using that article. If there was a bar above the M, then it would've been a million, but yeah M is 1000 in roman numerals. Remember the year 2000 when M&Ms said that was thier year? \nAnyways, if you are talking about a chemical perspective, then it means Moles. Perhaps it is another unit of some type.

I don't think anyone has answered the question yet, but I think a three way tie for the most Super Bowls is nice. That makes it competitive.

For your information, the characters used for representing numbers 0 -9 are different in different languages. Try indian languages- Hindi- telugu- any language in india has its own characters. It can be so in many languages. You see English and German using same characters because both use same script. You should probably be asking why all languages have same 10 - base system Thats a good question - and thats because sometime in history people of the world got some sense and decided to use 0 -9 as the basic numbers. Its like seeing people wear pants shirt, belt- using table, chair pen, dining table etc. where ever you go in the world - be it communist China or USA or Cuba or newzealand

Many different kinds of number systems developed over the course of history.  In addition to our modern base-10 number system, different cultures have used base-5, base-12, base-16, base-20, base-60, mixed-base, and other number systems.\n\nIn the modern world, base-2, base-4, base-8, and base-16 number systems are often used to accommodate the binary logic of most computer systems.

You mean Roman numerals? Here's an easy way to remember them:\n\nIt's Very eXciting, Linda Cried During Math (I V X L C D M).\n\nThen the values are 1 and 5 over and over again:\n1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000\n\nSo you get I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000\n\nIf a smaller number comes before a larger one, you subtract. (Example: IV=4)\n\nIf a smaller number comes AFTER a larger one, you add. (Example: VI=6)

When I Googled for "numeric letter" (with the leading and trailing doublequotes included) and looked at some of the results, there seemed to be two major usages:\n\n1) A character in something like ASCII or Unicode (something more than just A to Z) that represents\na digit (or perhaps a digit or a Roman numeral?)\n\n2) A way of assigning numbers to words by giving\na numeric value to each letter and then adding\nthose up (for example, to see if the sum is 666).\n\nAdditionally, as a converse of (2), I think the\nancient Hebrew and ancient Greek alphabets\nrepresented numbers by stringing together the\nletters of the alphabet according to their\npreassigned numeric values so that the sum\nwas the number in question.\n\n\n(not having the Arabic numerals) by

C=100\nL=50\nX=10\nI=1\nV=5\nWhen Roman numerals show the largest numbers first, it means add them. If there is a smaller number in front of a bigger number, substract the smaller number from the bigger number.\n\nso: XX (200) plus L(50) plus X (10) plus (V-I) (5-1)\n             200 plus 50 plus ten plus 4\n                           264

You are referring to the Middle East.  Each society has a way of celebrating good news.  We have some civil disobedience when the city wins the World Series or Super Bowl.

The system of numbering we use was developed by mathematicians in India. By trade and cultural diffusion it made its way to the Arab world, and thence to Europe. Hence, "Hindu-Arabic numerals." \n\nBut there is reason to believe the ancient Babylonians had something like that too, earlier than the Hindus. They had a symbol for a zero, an absolute necessity for this system. Their system was based on twenties and sixties, rather than ten.
