I think Rivka's Dad wasn't understanding the use of the INT function.
It does work - but it's probably not the intended answer.
I did find a cute way to get to 54.
Take IV IV IV. Turn one upside down and place it underneath another. You now have IV IX. I * IX = 9, V *IX = 45, 9+45 = 54.
I suppose you could drop the I from the third IV - you'd still have IX, just the I would be half-height! - and use it to add one to the result.
