The hotel is full, so everyone moves up a room number and frees up room one.
This is a problem for me, because I’m thinking that somebody along the line is going to be without a room, or there will be two guests in one room somewhere along the line of rooms. Because the rooms go on for infinity, there will always be someone alone the line moving up a room number, forever. Therefore if you say two people cannot occupy one room, ever, then there must always be someone in the corridor waiting to move rooms.
Therefore you evicted someone along the line of rooms
In the process of filling room one.
Does anyone have an answer to this, or does anyone agree with my logical conclusion? A full hotel, is a full hotel, and cant accommodate any more guests, unless someone else moves out, otherwise you have a logical self contradiction.
