Alright then, I actually solved it this time

Take one stick from the first X and put it underneath

IX + III = 9+3 = 12
IV + II = 4 + 2 = 6

Also a single usage of XIIII on Wikipedia does not make it correct. I had to make edits to Wikipedia as an assignment in grade 9

Fucking false.
Use a calculator, truncate it literally just 1 digit later.
