Donald Trump
Woodrow Wilson
Barack Obama
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Fact: Woodrow Wilson played more golf while in office than any other U.S. president, reportedly completing over 1,200 rounds during his presidency from 1913 to 1921. Wilson took up the game on the recommendation of his physician, who believed it would benefit his health. He played nine holes on most weekdays and 18 on Saturdays. Despite all that practice, he was never considered a skilled golfer. Even bad weather rarely kept him off the course; during winter, the Secret Service reportedly painted his golf balls so they could be spotted in the snow.

What is the largest number that can be represented by a single standard Roman numeral?

500
1,000
5,000
10,000

Fact: In the standard Roman numeral system, M represents 1,000, making it the largest value represented by a single Roman numeral symbol. The seven basic symbols are I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, and M for 1,000. Larger numbers can be written by combining these symbols, such as MM for 2,000 or MMM for 3,000. Although extended Roman numeral systems developed ways to represent much larger values, including placing a bar over a symbol to multiply its value by 1,000, M remains the largest single symbol in the standard system.
