          Me too, I almost had this one right if it wasn't for me mistaking Anden with Han. You really have to listen carefully.

                shouldn't it be "på" instead "ved" for "at"?

                  Yeah norsk prepositions can be very unpredictable.

                  I think the prepositions are very context based. "På" would be used to describe something actually sitting on the table, whereas "ved" would describe our English conception of sitting by or at a table.

                    Sounds like a set up for a joke.
