Err, `deux' or `VIII', perhaps ?

Look, you had it right the first time .... "These aren't word 
problems are they? You don't want us to do word problems, do you? 
We don't have to do word problems, do we?" was an affirmative

It's just that, whatever integer value you give to D, V must be 
another, different whole number from 0-9....
