["Die Hausnummer von Europa," answered Hans.]

In most industrialized countries it is customary to number houses
with odd numbers on one side of the street, and even numbers on the
other side.  But there are still two ways to do this:

	Method A:			Method B:

	1 3 5 7 9 11 ...		2 4 6 8 10 12 ...
	=================		=================
	2 4 6 8 10 12 ...		1 3 5 7 9 11 ...

Just out of curiosity, which method is used in YOUR state or country?
Method B is standard in Buffalo and, I believe, in New York State.  I
know that some countries use Method A.
