On the street where live there is a sequence of house numbers that goes 7, 9, 8.... did somebody have problems counting when they numbered the houses?

Spoiler for Isn't this quite common?

If this is a normal street, with odd numbers on one side and even numbers on the other, it's quite common that the numbers don't "line up" exactly. If house 6 is on a very big block of land, it's quite likely that the next houses will be 7 and 9 on the odd side of the street, before you get to 8 on the even side.

Assuming "in sequence" permits numbers going back and forth across the street to compensate for the odd/even scenario, then how about House 1 is 79, and house 2 is 80, so there is your 798 sequence.

[Nep Ton]

no it is not number 798, neither is it 2 houses numbered 79 and 80.

There are 3 houses next to each other on my street numbered 7 and 9 and 8 in that order

Spoiler for my guess

The street ends in a culdesac where the houses on one side are numbered 7, 9 with 9 being at the farthest point and as you continue around, the other side of the streets numbers pick up with 8.&nbsp; Of course, that would be followed by 6, 4, 2.

I live on a similar street. The numbers occur in a culdesac.
