Which is absurd because in every edition of the game I ever played, the auction rules are right on the back of property cards. You simply turn the card over and it tells you exactly what you have to do if you don't want to buy the property.
That's because no one reads them, thinking they know them by heart. It used to be the ultimate bar bet topic. Everyone was positive they knew the correct rules.

I wonder how many people know that the number of houses/hotels is strictly limited? Also, that you must build four houses on a property before you can build a hotel there? (And that if there aren't four houses available in the pool, you can't just "skip over" that requirement.)
