Logic
Today I noticed something funny. My gf took a train one station ahead. I wanted to join the same train, so I asked at which train wagon and door to wait. Each wagon consists of 4 doors and each train consists of 8 wagons. She said to wait at the third door of the last wagon. I could figure out the wagon, that wasn’t so difficult – however, I was waiting at the wrong door =P. It was one door to the left where she was waiting.
The difference is that I started counting a door from the left of a wagon and she started counting from the right, because that was the driving direction of the train. Some fundamental different thinking :P
Now I’m curious what other people think about this. At which door would you wait (counting from the left ;-)).
