Funny coding test

Today I received an email from an Irish company (that probably found my CV somewhere in the outer space) with the following content:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test #1 - "Roman numerals"

Implement a program which can take an integer and convert it into a Roman Numeral string.
e.g.

1 = "I"
5 = "V"
19 = "XIX"
101 = "CI"

The function should be capable of converting every number between 1 and 3999.

A file is included for reference (roman.txt).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test #2 - "Hangman"

Implement a version of the "Hangman" game. A word is given, and the user tries to guess the word before the little stick figure is fully drawn.

e.g.

o
/|\
/ \
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- You may use any of the following languages in implementing your solution: Java 1.5, C, C++ or C#
- Extra credit given for elegance and neatness in code, acceptance tests, etc.
- Comments are not necessary.
- Please provide instructions on how to run the code


That was pretty funny because it seemed like at least second part of the interview ;) and I haven't sent any email to this company before.
More so there was no "Hi", "Hello", "Regards", etc. - what a rudeness ;)

Anyway - I decided to solve the first task during my coffee break and here it is:

public static final int[] NUMBERS = new int[] { 1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1 };
public static final String[] LETTERS = new String[] { "M", "CM", "D", "CD", "C", "XC", "L", "XL", "X", "IX", "V", "IV", "I" };

public static String convert(int number) {
 for (int i = 0; i < NUMBERS.length; i++) {
  if (number >= NUMBERS[i]) {
   return LETTERS[i] + convert(number - NUMBERS[i]);
  }
 }
  
 return "";
}

Funny... :D
