I donβt have Grok, but maybe we can ask
@AInostrOFFLINE what Arabic numerals are.
Roman numerals wouldn't be a bad idea (in addition to Arabic) so kids can read fancy clocks
Roman numerals didnβt have a concept of zero though, and if people donβt know what Arabic numerals, are, they just got a zero on the quiz.
NGL, American numerals sounds kind of π₯
Is that like the Gulf of America where we just rename something that already has a name for ourselves?
No way, let's just make a brand new set of characters. πΊπΈ

I see where the joke goes if it is a joke. Definitely resting on some assumptions that you can't count on in a global public forum.
No, itβs true, and there are some real dim bulbs out there.
