Mathematics - then and now in Norway

• Mathematics in 1950
  A logger sells a carload of timber for NOK 1,000.
  The lumberjack's costs are 4/5 of the price.
  What does the lumberjack earn from the sale?
  
  
• Mathematics in 1960
  A logger sells a carload of timber for NOK 1,000.
  The lumberjack's costs are 4/5 of the price, or NOK 800.
  What does the lumberjack earn from the sale?
  
  
• Mathematics in 1970
  A logger trades a carload T (for timber)
  against a sum P (for money.) The base number for T is 100.
  Each item is worth a penny.
  Make 100 dots to represent the elements T. K (costs)
  contains 20 fewer than in the base number P.
  
  Derive K as a differentiable of P and answer the following questions:
  
  What is the base figure for F (profit)?
  
  
• Mathematics in 1980
  A logger sells a carload of timber for NOK 10,000.
  The lumberjack's costs are NOK 8,000 and the profit is NOK 2,000.
  Underline the number 2,000.
  
  
• Mathematics in 1990
  By cutting down the trees, the logger earns NOK 2,000.
  What do you think about this way of making a living?
  
  Investigate the following questions:
  How did the birds and animals of the forest react to the logger cutting down the trees.
  - There are no wrong answers.
  
  
• Mathematics in 2000
  A timber company outsources all its loggers.
  The average lumber worker in this company
  earned NOK 285,000 a year, had 3 weeks' holiday and all the usual social benefits.
  A hired logger's hourly price is NOK 500.
  
  Did it make sense for the company to outsource all the loggers?

Non Stop

Det begynner å bli en stund siden sist jeg koste meg med Non Stop.
Denne gangen var det Nons Stop i Påske Edition som skulle under lupen.

Is-skulptur

Nice to see ice sculpture in the center of Honningsvåg.

Even nicer to see that I am allowed to be left alone.

A few years ago, we had set up some ice sculptures down by the steamship's wharf, but they were not allowed to stand alone for long, before someone saw the need to smash them.

Fortunately, that ramp has now grown up and found something else to do at the weekends.

Har ikke glemt oss...

Woke up in the morning with heavy snow drifts.

A few moment later, it stopped snowing, just as if nothing had happened.

In the evening he found out that he had more in stock. Before we knew it there came 25-30cm out of nowhere
