I guess if you divide the standard ceiling height with a comfortable step size you get 13

- scoot 8y agoReminded me of this video [1] talking about the fact that there are signs in London tube stations claiming the stairs are equivalent to 15 floors, regardless of the number of steps. The number of floors is roughly correct for Covent Garden, so I guess it's possible that the original typesetter changed the number of steps, but forgot to change the number of floors. [1] https://youtu.be/pBTvmrRGlbE?t=516 https://youtu.be/pBTvmrRGlbE?t=516 Incidental anecdote: While searching for this video, which I'd seen a year or so ago, I googled "tube 15 floors sign", but didn't see a reference to it, so I opened YouTube instead, and there, in recommended videos, was a video about the tube... by the same person that made the video above. It was a short hop to find the correct video. It had never occurred to me that Google personalize youtube searches based on your google searches.
- alexfoo 8y agoThe ceiling height is not the same as the floor height of the next storey up.
- saagarjha 8y agoGenerally it's pretty close, though.
