I don’t know what everyone means when they use ‘rule’ in the title and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.

      Or building 1, section/floor 9, room 5. I’m in an apartment that has four digits, but that doesn’t mean there are over 1000 apartments in the complex. It simply means they follow a standard numbering scheme to make finding the specific apartments easier.

      In the Netherlands I saw some building were, instead of having a street number-flat number, the building had all the numbers listed on them. So, if the building had 100 houses, the street number for the building would be 150-249, and the next street number would be 250.

      It’s possible they had a similar system.
