Norwegian Math Test
Ole goes to apply for a job at a new factory in town, but the foreman really doesn't want to hire Ole so he makes up a little math test he can use as a reason to not hire Ole.
"Here is your first question" the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" Ole says. "Dat's easy!" and proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the foreman asks.
"Vot! You got no brain? Tree and tree and tree dat makes nine," says Ole.
Now the foreman is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire Ole, so he says "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
Ole stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Dar ya go. Von hundred."
The foreman looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
Ole leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, "A little dog come along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, vich makes von hundred. So, ven do I start?"

"Fair enough." says the foreman. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time represent the number 99."
Ole stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Dar Ya go."
The foreman scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99."
