O.K. all you dazzling urbanites.  Time to measure up.  To compute

To compute your average life altitude score multiply the floor on which you have slept in each house, condo, or apartment where you have lived by the number of years you lived there.  Add them up and divide that number by your age.

1.054

How does a split level get calculated.  1.5, 2.5, etc..?

1.63, I believe...

1.455 1,53, assuming that my basement apartment at Twin Oaks should be scored as -1.   Or 1.58 1.66 if a basement apartment is scored as 0. 


(Adjusted because I forgot about one of the places I lived.)



I'm in a bit of a quandary about how to score the place I live in now, though.   From the sidewalk it's the 3rd floor, but from where the entrance is (and therefore how the floors are numbered) it's the 2nd.   I went with 2nd.

3.6, alright!

1.50 if a basement is -1.
1.87 if a basement is 0.

2.79 with some average of dorm and summer housing mixed in. Not bad.

2nd floor of my childhood/teenage home, 5th floor of a highrise dorm, 6th floor of a highrise dorm, 3rd floor of a highrise dorm, 2nd floor of a highrise dorm, 2nd floor of a ratty college town house, 3rd floor of a West Plaza apartment, 6th floor of a RM condo

1.63

1.25  (Urban Altitude)

Pretty bad.  I should get credit for what probably amounts to a couple of hundred nights above 10,000' back in my climbing days.
