Lol wait until you find out about the Danish counting system, truly unhinged.

What's wrong about it?

Halvfjerds, half fourth. Clearly that's seventy.

But it's short for halvfjerdsindstyvende. Half fourth's in twenties. Yep that's seventy my friend

I assume the name refers to the fact that you are halfway to the fourth twenty from the third?

[–] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 1 points 2 days ago

Yep, that's it

When I learnt Danish the number system legit took me far longer than anything else xd, maths classes were certainly interesting.

You learnt the reason why they call it that way, but Danes don't think that way. They just know that 60 is called tres, that's it.
