        Yeah, and it’s wrong.
        Nioghalvfems is 9 + 1/2 * 5 * 20!
        NOT that silly 9+(4+1/2)*20.

        What do they take us for? Calculators?

            The graphic is correct. “Halvfems” is shorthand for “halvfemsindstyvende” which roughly means; halfway to the fifth twenty. So 4,5 or 4-1/2 “twenties” so 90. But nobody rally thinks about that. To most Danes “halvfems” is just the name for 90, just like ninety is in English…

              It should rather be 9 + (5 - 1/2) * 20. Halvfems is halfway from 4 to 5, but the 5 is the value explicitly mentioned

                Yes. That is what i said? “Halfway to the fifth” which i clarified to mean 4,5 in this context, so as to not be confused to mean 2,5.
