More or less, not as quickly as standard numbers though. I have to do a bit of "working out" in my head on longer ones.

I used to be able to. I am sure if had to, I could refresh pretty quickly.

Absolutely! Nothing like being a fan of classic film and figuring out the date it was made from watching credits to keep one fluent since MCMLXXVII.

Not when there are too many digits. Gotta break it into smaller pieces MCMLXXVII. MCM - 1000 + 100 before 1000 = 1900 LXX = 50+20 = 70 VII = 7 et voila : 1977 |
