H0H 0H0 is also a well know Santa's exception.

I'm not going to tell Alex that, she'll just want more specific stats. ;) I'm kind of curious what happens when Canadapost upgrades a rural region to urban and what is the magical population number they use. Is it a gradual process, or do they just suddenly change it. I was initially thinking that they don't "urbanize" regions too often, but, after reading up on it, they appear to do it fairly often (at least once every few years). Still a neat trick for these kind of statistics, and can always turn it into a bar trick (on second thought, maybe not). Cool, I didn’t know that.
