No they do not need ask the romans they used X, but for us maybe A
would be more suitable.
Now you have 123456789A or 123456789X instead of 0123456789 you may
notice the zero is gone.
zero is just a distraction performing math, especially when dividing
writing without zeros have great computational advantages when it come
to factoring, it may also come with some insight into prime number
distribution so finally someone can crack the mystery of the Riemann
zeta function.
