How To Say The Number 92 In Various European Languages

Map found on reddit
Map of Europe with most countries labeled "90+2". Germany is highlighted in purple with the label "2+90". France is highlighted in yellow with the label "4x20+12". Denmark is highlighted in orange with the label "2+(5-0.5)x20". The question at the top reads "How do you say number 92". This is a visual joke about different European languages and how they express the number 92 (e.g., quatre-vingt-douze in French, two and ninety in German, and a more complex calculation resulting in 92 for Denmark).

@infobeautiful Dialects in Norway that use the Nynorsk written dialect generally say 2+90 as they do in Germany and The Netherlands.

So both forms are used in Norway.
