Sorry Mark - your origins are showing :-)
It is really true - in the USA.
Often but *not* always true in the UK (where variant forms are more 
common, including 'skeleton' or 'barred', or where which are symmetric 
both ways but have the answer numbers missing, etc.)

I've been told (but can't guarantee) not true in France, don't know 
about the rest of the world.
