"200X" -- Obviously they couldn't confirm the year by deadline. 200X is a Roman number. It translates to 2010.

200X is a Roman number. It translates to 2010. Wrong. It would translate to 20010.

"200X is a Roman number..."No it ain't. Can't be. The Romans didn't use zeros. ;)

"200X is a Roman number. It translates to 2010." The number 2010 in Roman Numerals is MMX.
(M = 1000, X =10 so 1000 + 1000 + 10 = 2010.)
