children when they begin to practice the magical world of numbers, soon learn to count to 10, ten are the fingers and the numbering system commonly used is calls its "decimal".
For some time, but commuters in the west are attacked by a doubt: the train IC 505 Rome-Tirreno Ventimiglia is missing the carriage No 8. That this number has been abolished for some reason that escapes us?
course, there is an explanation for everything: in our case, since December, with the new timetable, the train is made up of nine pieces and not ten. This leads to inconvenience for travelers, at least in the case of commuters are often forced to travel in pedi ... but who cares!
you say, why not use the new numbers, instead of abolishing the number eight.
There are various schools of thought:
1) I FS managers are really great mathematicians who understood the futility of the number 8 ...
2) We are in a provisional and not worth the labels are replaced
3) Pretend to anything that delude travelers coaches are always 10 (no eye sees, the heart does not hurt)
What will be the winning case? For posterity will judge. Meanwhile, commuters west of
not give up and look forward (and forward) the appointment of the Regional Transport!
