1 2 Miss A Few 99 100

I was counting the number of floors of my hotel from the pool area the other day and wondering why I could only count up to 15 when there are 19 storeys. Unlucky numbers of course, but unlike Japan where 4 and 9 are your lot, it's gets slightly more complicated.

4 is the biggest issue, also meaning "death" but there are problems with combinations as well. My hotel misses Floors 3, 4, 13 and 14 but my Office Building runs as follows 41, L43, 43, U43, 45. No idea why, and Wikipedia can't help. For the first time, it has failed me.

Unlucky day.
