Stairs, Counting, and OCD

Or CDO (in alphabetical order).

I seem to be the only BYU student here that's noticed that every flight of stairs in Jordan has a different number of stairs. From one flight to the next, the number of stairs ranges anywhere from 8 to 12. It drives me nuts!

That's one thing I can say for the Soviets--they knew how to keep their stair counts consistent (10, every flight)! Armenian buildings had unlit stairwells, which made it exciting to traverse stairs at night, but at least you could count the stairs and know when you were coming to the end of the flight. The Jordanian version really keeps you on your toes (or knocks you off you're feet).
