  Speaker 1: road trips. That's what we're here for. I'm Stephen Cray
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and hopefully this quiz about numbers has the opposite effect
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of exponential decay. And a reminder, this quiz will require
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you to push paws on a number of occasions if
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you want to do really well at it. Okay, let's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: get to it. Question one, pick a number between one
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and ten, just jo king. How many bears are there
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the cautionary Tale of Goldilocks. There are three bears
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in the Tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Question two?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: How many syllables are there in the word vocabulary? Vo
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: cab you, Larry, there's five syllables. Question three, here's one
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you might want to push pause on. Complying with standard
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: notational limits and without using the Vinkilum multiplier. What is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the highest number that can be represented by Roman numerals?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Sounds more complicated than it is. What's the highest number
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you can use Roman numerals to represent without using the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: multiplier line. I'll give you a clue. It's in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: three thousands, three thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine. Now
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: let me explain. See, you can't have more than three
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: consecutive identical numbers, meaning four thousand can't be written as
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: M M M M, so the letters are mmm, C
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: M X CIX. Now, the vinculum is a line that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: goes over a letter and multiplies it by one thousand. So,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: applying the same rules with a vinculum, the biggest number
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: possible to be represented by Roman numerals is three million,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: If you're confused, well, I apologize, but it's pretty straightforward.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I just hope I've explained it well. Question four, how
