To read it, LXVI has 4 chunks, and none of them is a take-away pair, so every chunk is added.

| X | 10 | Add |
| V | 5 | Add |
| I | 1 | Add |
The mistake to watch for
Writing 66 as LXIV
Wrong: LXIV
LXIV has the same letters in a different order, and order matters. A smaller letter before a bigger one means take away, so LXIV is 64, not 66. 66 is LXVI.
