to have a dorm room 195 seems implausible. it implies at least 95 rooms on one floor
Or building 1, section/floor 9, room 5. I’m in an apartment that has four digits, but that doesn’t mean there are over 1000 apartments in the complex. It simply means they follow a standard numbering scheme to make finding the specific apartments easier.
Interesting. Number schema come in many colors. I use 20240315 format to prefix dated files
In the Netherlands I saw some building were, instead of having a street number-flat number, the building had all the numbers listed on them. So, if the building had 100 houses, the street number for the building would be 150-249, and the next street number would be 250.
It's possible they had a similar system.
