Why? I either know the answer, or I don't.

I still think that the answer is 1800. Tell me why I am wrong.

That's because their algorithm is stupid. No magister would have allowed
his puella to get away with that!

1190 it certainly wasn't, and I had a feeling that 1800 was MDCCC, so I had
to check somehow. Granted, his calculator should reject it in terms of the
rules he gives, but at least he flags it as dodgy. :-)

Geez, Nav. I did it without a cheat and I came up with 2000.

MCCM

M = 1000
C = 100
CM= 900

It has to be 2000. You can't do MCC, because C followed my a M.

I think you are wrong. Prove your algorithm...

Typo alert:
