Not quite sure where you got the 120M number, if you use these:
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/print/us.html for the USA
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/print/no.html for Norway
It shows a 99% number versus a 100% for Norway, like any stat I am sure we could debate the accuracy, but I really don't care. I think that it great that all 4.6 million people in Norway over 15 can read, which makes me wonder why you came here to get an education if it is so inferior.
