2 solutions

First of all , the given letters are not "Roman Numerals" since I haven't specified them to be so .

So the answer is not CLXVI or 166 .


Some extra Facts :

You could form 978 by rearranging the letters and using the letter V twice but then again , the question asks for the largest number , so the answer should have been 987 (which is not in the options!)

2196 is not really an option since that was the answer to a question posted by a friend of mine .

232 is also not an answer since it was the time when I posted the question : 2: 32 am .

just chose the most odd option :D

and saw green ;)

The largest can be LXVI^C, or 6 6 100 1 0 182 66^{100} \approx 10^{182}

Ok cool . But just what are V,X,C,I,L with respect to the question ? I haven't specified them to Roman Numerals ! So I think you are wrong , and btw you are forgetting one thing : This is a TROLL question , so it's only natural for people to get it wrong!! :P

Just to make you happy let me share with you something , the status of this question :

250 views (100%)   157 attempts (63%)   76 solvers (30%)

See , there are many people who got it wrong .
