Thanks for all the help. i got what I needed

So I am using the question environment for my document since it contains a lot of math problems.

When I wanted to move my code from sharlatex.com to my locale Texmaker the question environment went from Norwegian "Oppgave" to "Exercise" instead. Is there some pre-amble code I can use to force it to ...

icomma package is a thing of beauty. thanks!

Most of the world will write a decimal number like this: "0.36704 or .36704" and write a large number like this: "3,000,000"

In Norway (and probably other places in Europe), however, we write a decimal number like this: "0,36704 (and never ,36704)" and a large number like this: "3 000 000"

If I ...

That worked

Thanks for all the help from all of you!

I want the nice environment of tasks in terms of spacing and being able to sort problems without having to change any numbers, but I would like to be able to have the questions be numbered according to sections as this will end up as a longer compendium.

Here is some current minimal code ...

I don't want to be naggy, but that did not do anything it seems.

Hmmm, that is having an effect. I did \numberwithin{question}{section} which reset the counter per section. But it did not change the numbering of questions from "1, 2, 3,..." to "1.1, 1.2, 1.3..." It just started as "1, 2, 3..." for the next section.

A small follow up question. Is it possible to have questions be numbered with "1.1 , 1.2 ..." instead of "1, 2, 3 ..."?

I used memoir to get bigger font size by default. This is also probably possible in article environment, but I did not know how.
