Good job! That was a fairly straightforward one, so let's try something a little trickier.

Category:
INITIALS TO ROMAN NUMERALS TO NUMBERS
(We'll give you a clue that will lead you to a person's name. You take that person's initials. It translates into Roman numerals. Then you translate that into regular numbers. Sounds complicated, but you'll get it very easily.)

Clue:
For the pilot who was Time's first Man of the Year

To review, figure out the name of the person the clue is referring to. Take that person's initials, pretend it's a Roman numeral, and convert that Roman numeral into a regular number. And don't forget to phrase your response in the form of a question.

Good luck!

Thank you for the challenge!

The question is: Who is the pilot that was Time's first Man of the Year, whose initials, when translated into Roman numerals and then converted into regular numbers, give us a result?

The answer is: Who is Charles Lindbergh?

The initials for Charles Lindbergh are "CL". When these initials are converted into Roman numerals, they become "CL" in Roman numerals, which is equivalent to the number 150.
 
Okay, that wasn't bad, though to be nitpicky, your answer should simply have been "What is 150?" in accordance with the category.

Points for effort, though.
