Each flight of stairs in Ms Thomas’s apartment building has the same number of stairs and each flight of stairs connects one floor to the next.

Ms Thomas walks up 65 stairs to get from the Ground floor to her apartment.

To get from the Ground floor to the top floor she must  walk up 104 stairs.

If the lowest floor of the building is called the Ground floor and the floor above it is called the second floor (or
floor 2), what is the number assigned to the floor where Ms Thomas lives?
