Excellently exquisite

IV in roman words is four

Indeed, that is the answer. I found this riddle farly tricky.

This Hard, yes I must say

I was thinking when you set the variable five to be equal to 8, but I like that one much better.

OMG That transfers from english to roman numbers in one problem which is completely insane
