Reference: X compared to Y = possible Discrepancy?

--- Quote from: Serack on June 22, 2012, 06:12:02 PM ---- Harry's fifth floor office is on the fourth floor.
Needs expounding
--- End quote ---
Probably much dismissable (esp. since the building is toast), but may also be a clue toward a DB-GS world switch:
Storm Front:
--- Quote ---I rarely use the elevator, even though I'm on the fifth floor.
--- End quote ---
Changes:
--- Quote ---“The explosives are on the fourth floor,” Martin said calmly, “placed all around your office.”
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: Serack on June 22, 2012, 06:12:02 PM ---- Kemmler takedown in '45 vs. '61
Hmmm, I don't know the details of this. However Bob did say he was taken down multiple times, so the explenation must show that this doesn't explain it
--- End quote ---
It recently came up again:
GS Chapter 42:
--- Quote ---Evil Bob had been the part of Bob the Skull, which had been in the service of this jerk named Kemmler, who had apparently been killed for good sometime during World War II.
--- End quote ---
DB Chapter 2:
--- Quote ---"the White Council hunted him down and wiped out his dusty ass in 1961"
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---- 429B baker street (not sure if this counts as a discrepency).
huh?
--- End quote ---
Not really important, but the decor in Ronald's apartment is described as:
SK Chapter 11:
--- Quote ---"imported from 429-B Baker Street."
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---- Confused denarian body count.
I would chalk this up to general confusion... meh, if someone thinks it's important than they should write it up :)
--- End quote ---
I actually had a post that did exactly this, but it was purged and I never backed it up :-[. I may recreate it. The jist of it is that you need to either:
1) Assume that there were non-denarian goons at the Shedd.
2) Assume that the denarians brought "spare bodies" to the Shedd.
--- Quote ---- Minor practitioner body-count in WN (AKA "the Skavis only got 1").
Not familar with it
--- End quote ---
I may write it up again, but it's the same concept -- if you take the total amount of practitioners killed or missing in Chicago and you subtract the ones Thomas saved and the ones obviously killed by Madrigal/Vitto, you pretty much come up empty. Not that important.
Serack:
Is "imported from 429-B Baker Street."
Supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes reference?
If so, you might have hosed your correction a little, since apparently it was 221B Baker Street (using googlefoo)
Mr. Death:
The fourth/fifth floor may be an American/Foreign discrepancy. In much of the world, what Americans call the first floor is the ground floor, the second floor is called the first floor, etc., if I'm not mistaken. So what Harry might call the fifth floor, someone from Europe or South America might instinctively call it the fourth.

Exactly! so the fact that Harry says 429-B is either a clue, a typo, or whatnot.
Edit: Oh, you meant that my correction was mistaken. Actually, it's the quote that was wrong. Fixed it.
laura118b:
Molly's age can be explained by the fact that some of the early books got published in a different order than written. Priscellie covered this at one time IIRC.
