Which civilization developed roman numerals system and when?
As the name says, Roman numerals were developed by the Romans (or probably the Latins more in general). It is not known when they were established.The history of Roman numerals is not well documented and written accounts are contradictory. It is thought that they gradually developed from a tally system where tally marks were carved on wooden tally sticks which was in use in archaic Italy. This system was in use by shepherds in Italy until the 19th century. It seems that it developed as a system of making the number indicated by these tallies more recognisable. It was also influenced by elements from the Greek alphabet. With the development of the Latin alphabet, letters from this alphabet were introduced to simplify the system. The Roman numerals must have been in use been in use by the first few centuries B.C. and reached their final format under the reign of the emperor Augustus (late 1st century B.C/early 1sr century A.D.)

If you have 5 letters how many combinations can you make?
Suppose the 5 letters are A, B, C, D and E. The letter A can either be in the combination or not: 2 options for A. With each of these options, B can either be in the combination or not: 2 options for B - making 2*2 options so far. With each of the options so far, C can either be in the combination or not: 2 options for C - making 2*2*2 options so far. and so on. So for 5 letters there are 25 = 32 combinations. However, one of these is the combination that excludes each of the 5 letters - ie the null combination. Excluding the null combination gives the final answer of 31 combinations.
