Three risers though.
Yabbut, that misses the point of the gag. It's easy
to point at the three
risers:
. ------------
. | -- 1
, -----
. | --2
. -----
. | -- 3
. -------------
And, obviously, the middle one is #2.
But, while stepping up or down the stairs, the way
most people count steps,
if you're going down, (to the right) you'd go:
. ------------
. | 1
, -----
. | 2
. -----
. | 3
. -------------
And count 3 steps. But if you're going up, which is
right-to-left in
this exsample, you'd go:
3
. ------------
. | 2
, -----
. | 1
. -----
. |
. -------------
because where you started from is zero in either
case, but step 2 is
different if you're going up or down.

Or this one: Imagine a short staircase, say to a

There are only two steps. on the stairway. The
others are landings
