"To enter" a room isn't exactly the opposite of "to exit" a room. This may lead to a difference greater than one!... If you place a door inside a room, every time you go thru it you may say you enter the room without exiting it! ... Just playing with definitions...

Totally useless, I know! This is why it was needed to be said!

What if the house is lifted right off you by a tornado?

I don't know how it works where you live, but here they take the corpses out of the rooms they die in

If someone dies in a room, they entered once more than they left. Thus maximum difference between the numbers is 1

This is the basis for an algorithm to determine whether a point is inside or outside of a closed shape. A straight line from the point will cross the shape an odd number of times if it's inside and an even number if outside.
