    I always love her chart lessons lol. Honestly all her videos are fascinating for me. But I like the hotforprofits girl as well so I’m just weird like that.

    I’ve always found it interesting from taking Latin in high school that counting in Latin has something similar to eleven and twelve, but on the other end. Eleven through seventeen are all along the same format, but eighteen and nineteen are a different format. They are in the format of two before twenty and one before twenty. Is there any reason for this opposite similarity? Are there other languages that done the same or similar things in that range of numbers?

      Counting in Danish is really complicated.
      From 0 up till 20 it’s quite similar to English, but from there upwards it gets … er … creative. :grin:
      Oneandtwenty, twoandtwenty, etc and similarly up till 49 then:-
      50=halfatwentyshortofthreetimestwenty
      51=oneandhalfatwentyshortofthreetimestwenty
      etc.
      60=threetimestwenty
      70=halfatwentyshortoffourtimestwenty
      80=fourtimestwenty
      90=halfatwentyshortoffivetimestwenty
      100=fivetimestwenty

      French numbers between 70 and 99 are … creative as well:

      70 – soixante-dix (sixty-ten)
      71 – soixante-onze (sixty-eleven)
      72 – soixante-douze (sixty-twelve)
      …
      79 – soixante-dix-neuf (sixty-nineteen)
      80 – quatre-vingts (four-twenties)
      81 – quatre-vingt-un (four-twenty-one)
      82 – quatre-vingt-deux (four-twenty-two)
      …
      90 – quatre-vingt-dix (four-twenty-ten)
      91 – quatre-vingt-onze (four-twenty-eleven)
      92 – quatre-vingt-douze (four-twenty-twelve)
      …
      99 – quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (four-twenty-nineteen)

    I’m sort of confused. Why then isn’t there thireven or fourve, but only eleven and twelve?

    Hey! NO! Twelve is not one of the perfect numbers. Twelve is an abundant number. For a perfect number the sum of its proper factors is the number itself, but 1+2+3+4+6 is 16, not 12, thus twelve isn’t perfect.

    6 and 28 are perfect numbers. 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14

    It’s currently unknown whether any odd numbers are perfect.

    Twelve is on of the perfect numbers.

    Three is devine perfection, seven is spiritual perfection, ten in ordinal perfection and twelve is governmental perfection. In scripture twelve is associated with Rule. the sun rules the day, just as the moon and the stars govern the night.

    The Zodiac resides in a great circle which 360 degrees (=30 x 12)!

    The Heavenly City of Revelation, has twelve gates w/the name of the twelve tribes of Israel on them. Twelve angels stand at the gates, the walls have twelve foundations…and on it goes!

    Is this the answer you were looking for teacher?
