Re: New Golf

[Daniel Cutter]

I was just wondering, reading all your talk about your solutions to the 
fonality golf, I would assume that everyone converted in arabic, 
calculated and then converted back to roman. When I first had a look at 
the problem I thought that that would be the obvious way to do it. At 
the time I thought it would be shorter though to calculate in roman and 
just drop the conversion. My first solution was with all the conversion. 
I say that Ton had allready posted a 100 so I thought he must have gone 
the other way. So I tried. My best solution (247) did just that. Based 
on the Wikipedia article I tried to add and subtract the roman numerals 
directly. Did anybody else do that?
