XXXXIII

Ooops. Not quite XXXXIII

Roman numerals don't have more than three of the same symbols in a row. The number 43 is XLIII. L is 50, X takes away 10. III is 3.

Best.

Improved Answer:

The first contibutors answer of XXXXIII for 43 is perfectly correct and the Romans themselves would have simplified this to XLIII (-10+53 = 43)

The second contributors claim that Roman numerals don't have more than 3 of the same symbols in a row is wrong because some clocks and watches have the Roman numerals for 4 as IIII.

Furthermore, the Roman numeral for 29 can be expressed as XXVIIII as can be seen today in the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome.
