There are some things I will never learn like always running to the first floor of a building when I want to go to a room numbered 1(something). But here in Norway, the ground floor is the first floor so the first floor is the second floor already - it is also like this in the USA. In Germany however (at least most of the time), the ground level would have zeros in front of the room numbers and ones in front of the rooms on the first floor. The basement is then often -1 or -2 ;) Confused?
Recently I did that in the Geological Museum when looking for a room for a course and this time is was quite nice because I could see all the dinosaur bones ;)
In terms of figures when one floor is 2.5m in height the earth can contain about 5 million floors... so it should be better to have 7 digits for the floor :D
