ReadWorthRunning total
MM20002000
XX202020
IV42024

The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair IV. A smaller letter sitting in front of a larger one is subtracted, not added, so you have to read those two letters as a single unit rather than one at a time. Treat IV as one group and the rest of MMXXIV falls into place.
