What is it?
  • A chronogram is a sentence or phrase in which certain letters can be used to express a date or number in Roman numerals, when added together by their values.
  • The Roman numeral letters and their value are the following: M = 1000, D = 500, C = 100, L = 50, X = 10, V or U = 5, I = 1. All others letters and signs - including numbers - are worth 0.
  • Your task is to find a post subject in any Mobilism forum where the Roman numerals sum to reach the goal number given for this round (see below) when all the letters are added together.
  • For example, "Download Directly with Mobilism Premium" is worth 5760:
      DownLoaD DIreCtLy wIth MobILIsM preMIVM
      D + L + D + D + I + C + L + I + M + I + L + I + M + M + I + V + M
      500 + 50 + 500 + 500 + 1 + 100 + 50 + 1 + 1000 + 1 + 50 + 1 + 1000 + 1000 + 1 + 5 + 1000
  • You may find this link helpful to check your chronograms :wink:

How do you play?
  • Post the post subject first then the link to a thread of Mobilism with a total close enough to the goal (see example below).
