In my entire life, I only wrote once Mathcad-sheet with ORIGIN not 0 and not 1.
Questions.
- Do you have own Mathcad-sheet with ORIGIN not 0 or 1?
- What ORIGIN was in my Mathcad-sheet?
- What is it this my Mathcad-sheet? You can find it here 2⁵ Problems for STEM Education - 1st Edition - Valery Ochkov - Rout (routledge.com)

Do you know how many worksheets I've written? Neither do I. 😀 I haven't a clue whether I've used any other ORIGIN.
2. What ORIGIN was in my Mathcad-sheet?
The same as your question number!

Three dice.

I only know because it was the first time I seriously thought about how to deal with arbitrary ORIGIN in Mathcad Express functional programming, including negative ORIGIN and stupidly large magnitude ORIGIN, and recently copied some functions from it in response to a comment from Luc. I think it's the only time, as well. I'll stick to using ORIGIN=0 like the Romans didn't intend us to use - that's another thing the Romans didn't do for us. In fact, I was wondering how you'd mark an ORIGIN=0 clock in Roman numerals - N (as did Bede) or O (to bring them up to date) or ...?
Nice plug for the book, BTW.

Not as nice looking as yours, but I was going to go with the more traditional N (nulla).

But then I thought, we often speak of time in terms of "minutes until the hour", so why not "hours until the day"?

In Russia, Roman numbers are used even by not very literate people. One example.
The log house needs to be moved to a new location. Before disassembling it, the logs are numbered in Roman, not Arabic numbers.
Do you know why?
Choose please the correct answer!
1 The carpenter wants to show his high culture - knowledge of antiquity!
2 The carpenter cannot count, but he has a clock with Roman numerals on his left hand. He looks at them and numbers the logs.
