Your turn!

Hint # 1: A unique quartet and the answer has a quartet within a quartet.

Hint #2:  What makes these four Roman Numerals a unique quartet is that they were recently used for the first time in a special way.  They appear in alphabetical order to disguise the order in which they appeared.

Status: offline 		fluff, thanks for doing that.... (bumping it "legally") I was just about ready to offer the hint.  I'm suprised that dcnovice (being snowed in with plenty of time) didn't answer yesterday. LOL!  I would've prefered something more like "first time the Super Bowl had a number that can be written using those four numerals, each just once."
 
dc: since you're "moderator" of the game, do you want to proceed or should I wait for you or fluff or anybody to get the BONUS points for the quartets within the quartet?

MUST leave without waiting for your answer, dc.

XLIV = 44, so there's a pair o'fours......
But, there's only FOUR ways to write a number using those four Roman numerals, each once.  Those four numbers (in Arabic numerals) are 44, 46, 64, 66 - see? Another quartet - and within those four are FOUR occurances of the digit 4.  Fascininating, n'est-ca pa?  Oh, alright.... maybe (just maybe) I was the only one that found it fascinating. LOL
 
We now continue with the regularly scheduled game......

Brava, Holly! They're part of a group known as the North American Martyrs or Canadian Martyrs.

Your turn, Ma'am!
