328.  So its real price is significantly lower than in Australia:

Going a bit further, the Big Mac is NOK 35.00 right now, and the MZ-S
is NOK 11500.  At 4.063 NOK/AUD, the MZ-S is AUD 2830 in Norway, or
72% more than in Australia, but the Big Mac is AUD 8.61; 165% more!

Burgernomics says that the exchange rate should be 10.77 NOK/AUD, so
the relative valuation of the currencies seems to be way off: either
the Australian dollar is undervalued, or the Norwegian krone is
overvalued, or a combination of both.  This certainly rhymes with the
fact that the krone is at a record high right now...
