Imagine having to walk all the way to room 5 billion, by the time you get there your stay would already be over

When I thought about problems less complicated than this one I was teased that I had too much time on my hands. If only I had teasers like this to push back with. Thanks for sharing.

Imagine it's 11pm and you're sleeping and you have to suddenly move down 100 rooms

This video did not explain the "there is a limit" part. It actually explained the opposite

It's all fun and games until someone in room 1 billion has to check out lol

Old video..love it though

What an appalling mistreatment of hotel guests

Never book with Hilbert Hotels. They’re always making you move rooms! I ain’t walking a billion kilometers to my room just to get told to walk 2 billion more!
