Posted sideways to avoid bias!

Also family at other table, it’s really weird you accepted a single breakfast and pepsi 5 minutes before getting up to leave!

  1. I’m going with 6, they’ve put the screw through the little line that should be under the number?

  2. 9 – The number is oriented to be read while standing in front of it.

  3. I’d have said 9 tbh but wouldn’t have been sure and probs would have checked when ordering.

  4. I would read this as a 9 because I reckon the nearest table edge is meant to be the bottom

  5. Looks like 6 to me, 9 has a bigger gap to the where the tail comes around normally

  6. 6. I think the screw has been purposely positioned at the bottom of the number.

  7. My votes for 9. Read as if it’s on the bottom corner of the table…… but…. if I’m ever sat on 6 or 9 I always glance at the other tables immediately around.

  8. I remember having a similar issue – I explicitly checked the orientation of the numbers on other neighbouring tables to make sure I had it correct, and apparently I was still wrong!

  9. It’s a 9 but if you’re ever unsure if you’re at a number 6 or a number 9, just check the number of the tables next to you and that should clear up any doubt you may have.

  10. It’s a pair of angry glasses worn by someone whose lost their eye.

  11. I feel your pain OP, I did the same recently, was sat at 19, but ordered to 61 accidentally. That’ll teach me for going to Spoons I guess.

  12. I’d guess 9, but it’s not terribly obvious and someone ought to make a clearer underscore on it.

  13. 9, read as such from the closest table edge + as someone who does DIY the screw being placed above it is more natural when fixing something to something else

  14. 9. I imagine the edge it’s closest to would be the bottom edge of the table. Also I think it’s an old hotel door number, the screw being at the top would be where it would hang down from.

    So what was it?

  15. it is a 9, but i see why you thought it was a 6.

    Reasons why its a 9:

    That brass badge was probably for a door, you wouldn’t have the screw hole at the bottom, it would be at the top.

    I’m not sure, but that white scratch, I think that possibly might have been a black line once.

    Lastly, its facing the waiter so they can read it, and it reads as 9 in that direction.
