Answer to Question 1

Should describe the Dirty Harry problem as one occurring where a police officer (or perhaps other criminal justice professional) is in a situation where a good outcome might be achieved by techniques that would typically be considered immoral  or perhaps illegal. The moral question is whether those techniques are ever justifiable and, if so, under what circumstances. Ideally, the question should be linked to consequentialism more generally, whereby producing good consequences outweighs other moral considerations such as rights, liberty, promises, honesty, etc. Deceptive interrogation might be used as an example.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
