In Roman numerals 49 would be expressed as XLIX. You can only use I to "modify" V and X, not L, C, D, or M.

@lancehoch The quiz is about state abbreviations that are made up of Roman numerals. The actual number represented doesn't necessarily have to be correct. @MikeN Thanks, don't know how I missed that!

Tbh, although it is not generally accepted now to write 49 as IL, it wasn't necessarily considered incorrect among the ancient Romans.
