That's another weird thing. You CAN read out a number as 8 individual digits, but most Danes will give you 4 two-digit numbers. It's almost a shibboleth, like that movie where the non-native German speaker uses his pointing finger instead of his thumb to count "one".

I had a teacher, who, when enumerating, say, three points in his address of the class, used his thumb all three times.
