It's just fun to blow some non-Danes' minds every now and again. <3

It's just pre-imperial. We've left everything else behind for metric, but the snaes still roams the shadows of our counting system.

Everyone knew what a snaes was and everyone measured in snaes enyway, it also happened to be about the amount that we stored fish and eggs as. So, instead of having to count all the fish, we simply asked for one snaes/box of fish. And if you needed 2,5 snaes of fish? well, then you simply asked for half three snaes.

For a very interesting example of modern culture using such improvised counting systems, look no further than the USA's obsession with measuring everything in football fields, elephants, etc..

And for an example for saying "half x"? Ask anyone who has ever said "let's meet at half six".

Nice spot ^,^' Seems not even a Dane is danish enough to Dane.

Well, it is just arithmetics.

The left side of the equation is just the natural expansion of the paranthesis to signify and drive home the point that we're specifically talking half off 20.

The middle is how it's usually represented and follows best practices. Aka. Simplifying the equation without touching the variables and constants.

The right side is the result for calculating the equation.

I'm unsure of any tutorials regarding the danish counting system, though there's bound to be some. :)

Did I misunderstand the question?

Huh? TIL. Well, partly. Didn't actively know about the "sinds".

So, does this mean that "snes" is just a load of bull, or are we talking different ages of counting systems? After all, just like the link explains "fyrre", the Danish counting system seems as an amalgamation of multiple counting systems and words of the time.

Yes, Church numerals are something more specific. Church numerals are a model of Peano arithmetic, I think. So basically all Chuch is Peano but not all Peano is Church.
