Sorry Hunt,
the waiters probably will talk about "this crazy American" and expect the
next one to tip as well without returning any extra service...
Each European country differs from the others, so you should indeed check
for local customs. For Norway you'd round off to some suitable amount, say
from 925.- till 1000.- if the service was good, 950.- would do for less than
adequate service but is still a tip..
