What is the difference between the south side and the north side of Everest?
I met Bill Burke and he said the North side is harder to climb.
Why do addresses have even and odd number?
Usually the even numbers are one side of the street and the odds on the other side.
Where is lat 26.69 n long 80.06 w?
This point is on the north side of the street in the 700 block of Gotham Ct.,between South Lake Ave. and Georgia Ave., in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Why are there even house numbers on one side of the street and odd numbers on the other side?
No specific reason - and they don't always follow that pattern... There are many streets in the UK that have sequential numbers on one side, continuing on the other. This can happen when a row of houses is built next to private land.
Why do houses have numbers on the outside of the house?
In order to deliver mail, carriers needed a way to identify houses from the outside. A simple number system was developed using even numbers on the left side of the street/road and odd numbers on the right side of the street/road. Numbers had to be posted prominently, near the front door (most doors had mail slots back then). Later, fire and police services required large reflective numbers on all houses.
