Where is the first floor?

[Skeeter]

Yes, you win the illogical cookie.

Are we discussing how many layers there are in a building, or what they are called?

 

[Gilly]

If you think of the ground floor as floor 0, you will be confused. The ground floor is the ground floor. It is G. The floor above is 1. Buildings do not conform to the binary rule.

They do. 1 building or 0 building.

We are talking about floors, not buildings. Feathers are not the same as pigeons.

without knowing the building I'm in, answer this riddle

My feet are on the floor, there are no stairs or lifts
If there are no floors, what are my feet on

how many floors do I have?

Whilst we all realise that, that doesn't mean it's the right or most logical way to do it.

I think there are some here that are free thinkers, and some too set in their ways.

Quite possibly but it will take a lot to change the building industry

People are getting too hung up on floors anyways, think of it as first floor above ground level etc... that's the way it is on plans.

It's not always the way. At work I walk straight through the door which is ground level. There is no elevation whatsoever.

What they should be called.

Your riddle is basically 2+2=5.

Or similarly put:

I'm in a car, but not in a car, how many cars are there?

Trick question. You are sitting outside. You don't have a building, stop lying to us all.

I would describe it as a small cabin on stilts by a lake.

And what about now ?

Are you a grounded individual?

Far from it

Are you trying to get me to say.... ground?

Yes it is the ground, AKA the floor, the first floor.

And what about now ?

Now you get told off for posting an image wider than 1280px?

The carpet/Laminate flooring/ magically hovering in mid air!

I think you forget I'm in your camp

I don't understand what you are getting at? If you walk straight through the door at ground level with no elevation then you work on ground or 0 any elevation above that would be 1 and below -1?
