Whoever figures this one out gets a gold star. :)

Just choose your button and push. The lift takes you up or down or left or ringht or here or there...Who is the brave-harted who will enter the lift and is ready to go?

I imagine the number between 3 and 5 is unlucky in Vancouver or Canada generally... or just among Canadian architects, maybe... since it ain't there.

That's pretty much it - number 4 is considered unlucky by Chinese (and Japanese), and since quarter of Vancouverites are actually of Chinese origin avoiding the number is quite common. To a westerner it just seems a bit weird - I mean, there is a fourth floor, they just call it fifth ;)

Ah :) I can now consider myself suitably upgraded with extra trivia. No idea if it will ever be of any use, though... but that's the whole idea of trivia!

oh it goes pretty far.

3 is a very lucky number, as is 8, get three 3s or three 8s and you are set for life, here read this http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-11-06-china-number_x.htm

4 is terrible. The word for 4 in Chinese sounds similar to the word "Death". My Realtor said that he seen places that sold for $139,999 and the buyer would not pay the extra 1 dollar to get the 4 under any situation.

Also consider this, a town in Greater Vancouver called Richmond is the biggest Chinese center around here, only because the name "Richmond" sounds like "Rich man".

Of course who am I to judge? Jews (those of a religious opinion) think that a burning bush talked to a man.
