If you're so mad at Fr*nch and German numbers, don't look up Danish numbers. Unless you can guess what "five and half five's". Did you guess 95? Why would you?

It's a twenty based system. "Two's" is 40, "three's" is 60, ...

50 is "halfway to 60" so it's "half three's", likewise "half four's" for 70, "four's" for 80 and "half five's" for 90. 100 is its own word so "half five's" exists but "five's" doesn't.
