Today's clue "CXL x XV" leads us to the answer "MMC". Let's break down the clue and its connection to the answer.
1. "CXL x XV": The clue consists of two Roman numerals multiplied together. "CXL" represents 140, as "C" stands for 100, "X" represents 10, and "L" denotes 50. "XV" equals 15, with "X" representing 10 and "V" representing 5. By multiplying 140 and 15 together, we get 2100, which is the product of CXL and XV.
2. "MMC": The answer to this clue is "MMC". "MMC" stands for "2100" in Roman numerals. "M" represents 1000, and we have two instances of it, adding up to 2000. The two "C"s represent 200 each. Therefore, "MMC" sums up to 2000 + 100 + 100, which equals 2100, the result of multiplying CXL (140) by XV (15).
In summary, the clue "CXL x XV" requires us to convert the Roman numerals "CXL" and "XV" to their respective values and then multiply them together to obtain the answer "MMC." The use of Roman numerals adds a twist to the puzzle, challenging solvers to decipher the clue and apply mathematical operations to arrive at the correct solution.
