ABC Wednesday: X is for 10

Link
X is the Roman Numeral 10 and can be seen on clocks.

On Roman Numeral Clocks you see X for ten and IX for nine.

You also see XI for eleven and XII for twelve. Granted none of the times on the clocks I'm showing you include X but since X is on the clock face 4 times I figured it would work for X day.

    That was a clever way to get in what, I'm sure, must have been a very difficult challenge.
    The thing I remember about the antique clock we had on the mantlepiece (when I was a child) was that the four was written IIII. So in school when I was taught it was IV I was surprised.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

    Good choice Carver. I never even thought of that X.
    Your first comment was interesting about having a clock that said 4 as IIII. That's a first for me.

    Beautiful clocks, and very accommodating that they are Roman numerals and not digital...
