danish has a score based counting system, halvtreds is 50, it comes from halv (half) and treds (three, though we dont say it like that anymore) and here comes the kicker, the reason why no one likes to learn the danish words for numbers, we say words like 254 like 2 4 5: tohundredefireoghalvtreds, tohundrede (200) fire(4) og (and) halvtreds(50) imagine if you said: "TwoHundredFourAndHalfWayToSixScores" thats basically danish.
