Is that seriously the way you say 97 in Lego?

Yes,
Syv (seven) og (and) halv (half) fem (five) sinds (times) tyve (twenty). Syvoghalvfemsindstyve. 97.
Syv (seven) og (and) fir (four) sinds (times) tyve (twenty). Syvogfirsindstyve. 87.
Syv (seven) og (and) halv (half) fjerd (four) sinds (times) tyve (twenty). Syvoghalvfjerdsindstyve. 77.

EASY.

Well... you leave out the "tyve" and the "sinds" is just an s at this point, so all you say is is seven-and-half-fours

Perfectly logical :smarty:

You guys really did get stuck with the Hinduism of languages.

Admiral Yi

And it's not at all logical.  Half of 5 times 20 is 50, not 90.  You're trying to say halfway between 80 and 100, but you can't just say halfway between 100.

I guess it's a dig at the supposedly unintelligible Danish. See also this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

Danish girl with about 5 vids on that link is hym-no-tizing me.

Ok. Those Danish numbers are crazy. And j thought Danish was a sensible language :(
One good thing about switzerland- they drop the 4 20s nonsense and just say 80

The conversations today wound up with us planning a gold panning holiday in the 4x4.

My wife is pretty cool sometimes, but damn. Camping in places and panning for gold is quite a lot her and not even a little bit me. It could be fun though.

Think of it as going out and doing a 49er historical reenactment in the outdoors, mixed in with cool off-road FJ action, plus a HOTT babe.

Sounds like all win to me.

What do you mean by gold panning?  As in, literally looking for gold?  :unsure:

Or you can think of it as hours of back-breaking labour in shitty weather while being eaten alive by mosquitoes, for a pitifully meager reward of a few tiny flecks of gold worth about twenty cents, with a HOTT babe covered head to toe and dosed in Muskol sans bathing.  ;)
