Well, we cheat a bit -- the building numbers often (almost always, in fact)
skip. For example, from 1558 to 1562. Just in case someone wants to come
squeeze a two-dimensional 1560 in between the buildings.
As for the apartments, it's a code -- the 'tens' digit represents floor, and
the ones represent the apartment. In the case of my building, it's actually
base 5. (With all digits mapped +1, 'cause there's no floor 0 or apt. 10,
20, 30...)
