While you're doing this, emotionally blackmail the lever-puller, using his remorse from the choice he made to get him to call all of the even-numbered rooms. This way, you'll cut your time searching for sisyphus' phone number down by half, which is really no time at all when you think about it
Sisyphus has racked up quite the phone bill during his stay at the hotel. The concierge enters his room to present him with the bill, to find Sisyphus a complete wreck, in bed drunk out of his mind in his underpants. "Oh, Diogenes!" he cries. "Will you ever make an honest man out of me?" The concierge reaches out towards Sisyphus to comfort him. However, he must first reach out half of the distance between him and Sisyphus. Then, he must reach half the remaining distance, and so on. Will Sisyphus ever know real human connection?
