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.

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.
Oneandtwenty, twoandtwenty, etc and similarly up till 49 then:-
50=halfatwentyshortofthreetimestwenty
51=oneandhalfatwentyshortofthreetimestwenty
etc.
60=threetimestwenty
70=halfatwentyshortoffourtimestwenty
80=fourtimestwenty
90=halfatwentyshortoffivetimestwenty
100=fivetimestwenty

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?

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.
