Counting from top, your 20th board is the 15th board from bottom. Which means there are 14 more boards below the 20th boards. So total number of boards = 34

Nope, that board itself is the 20th board which would mean there are 19boards above it.
Counting from bottom, it is number 15 and with 19boards above it, there are a total of 34boards.
