I live in Malmö so you have to understand I'm obliged to make a "well no wonder given the Danish counting system" joke here
> Fifty is halvtreds, which stands for halvtredje-sinds-tyve, meaning “third half times twenty”, or “two scores plus half of the third score” [2½ 20]*

- gsliepen 5y agoIndeed it is a very weird way of counting. It was a question on Code Golf a few years ago: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/92657/count-to-100-in-danish https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/92657/count-to-... What is remarkable here is that usually there are a lot of answers in dedicated golfing languages that can solve seemingly very complex tasks in just a few tens of bytes, here there is only one such answer, and it takes 115 bytes. So perhaps one could say it's even hard for computers?
