Busted. I count the number of stairs of buildings I visit, but know the number of stairs per flight (not always the same) in the buildings I frequent.
At one place, it's (4-7-8-7-7-4-7-5-12) to get to the top. It's useful if you don't want to turn on the light and wake people up.
Most of the time, when the number of stairs is odd, I'll go one, then two-two-two-two. When it's even, it'll be either two-two-two, or one-two-two-one..
I might be having a conversation with someone while going up or down the stairs, but the process in my head with the count and the fun I'm having is nice.
- CydeWeys 8y agoI take one step at a time and count stairs on my left foot (but don't alter my walking pattern). So if I happen to start taking the stairs on my left foot, I'll count 1-3-5-7, etc., otherwise it's 2-4-6-8. It can switch between evens or odds whenever landings are involved. I know the # of stairs per flight at home and at work, not sure about other places though.
