Some tall buildings with over 13 floors (old and new) have avoided having the 13th floor labelled as such, skipping floor numbering from 12 to 14 (so that the would-be 13th floor is called the 14th floor) because some people are superstitious about such things.

I am aware that floors are numbered differently in different areas and countries, so go with whatever applies in your experience.

  • I have been in at least one such tall building that DID have a numbered Floor 13.
  • I have been in at least one such tall building that DID NOT have a numbered Floor 13.
  • I have been in such tall buildings but honestly don’t remember that sort of thing for any of them.
  • I have never been in a building that tall.
  • I’m just an unfrozen caveman. Your “tall buildings” frighten me. Now get me another scotch!

You’re working on a crossword puzzle. One of the clues is very specific and you understand what’s being asked, but it requires a specific piece of knowledge that you don’t possess. Something like “Designer of Shalimar perfume” or “He won the most Formula One Grand Prix races”. After completing all the crossing words that you can, you still don’t have enough to pin down the word. Is it cheating to look it up based on the clue?

  • Yes, that’s cheating
  • No, it’s ok
  • It depends on something that I’ll explain in the discussion thread
  • I don’t do crossword puzzles and therefore can’t even conceive of this situation
  • Something else

Hollywood is going to make a movie about a true real-life story. The director must choose whether to quote or portray things verbatim the way things happened in real life, or to do some editing for conciseness and cinematic effect, which sacrifices accuracy.

  • Do it all verbatim, per real life, for exact truth
  • Edit for smoothness and better effect, at cost of accuracy
