Question text was A dealer in Norfolk, England having to ship 100 herring found that he had only 99 in stock. How many was he short? Possible answers - thirty-three (33) - one hundred (100) - zero (0) - one (1) Correct answer was thirty-three (33) May be my English is too bad - or I don't know a lot about herrings. Could someone explain me a logic of this answer, please? Thank you Quido Alba - Fri Apr 15, 2011 11:05 am In Norfolk, England, one hundred (100) herring is actually one hundred thirty-two (132). Thus, needing thirty-three (33), rather than the assumed one (1) Quido - Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:17 pm Alba wrote: In Norfolk, England, one hundred (100) herring is actually one hundred thirty-two (132).
