Essentially the same joke:

My uncle died peacefully in his sleep.

Unlike his passengers.

The version I heard was: When I die, I want to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my uncle. Not all screaming and terrified like his passengers.

But, to be fair, I believe that, technically, the gestation time for an Osprey is more like 3 years. :smile:

...multiply any numbers of length 2 ( contrived, but necessary*) in less than 3 minutes.

I proposed LX times CI

VMLXAccording to:
https://byjus.com/maths/roman-numerals/

. When a symbol of a smaller value appears before a greater value symbol, it will be subtracted. For Example- IX = X – I = 10 – 1 = 9.

. The symbols V, L, and D are never subtracted, as they are not written before a greater value symbol.

I have not been able to find any information that the Romans depicted numbers as products of numerals. Please let us know if you find such.

Cheers,
Tom

That's why I used the overlined symbol. ##\overline{V}=MMMMM>M.##

There are various ways to deal with numbers greater than a thousand. Overlining is one of them.
