- Start at the main lobby of the building and wait for a guest from the floors above or below to move up or down. Once this is done you will move to that floor depending on the sensors and how popular the floor is at the time.
- If it is from above you will brighten up the arrow outside of the elevator to show the rest of the people off the elevator there that you are going up to visit that floor.
- If you are in a floor that is not the lobby or main floor and a floor below presses your button, you must go elevate down into the selected floor that chose you.
- If a guest is inside of the elevator and the button is pressed, you must go up towards that assigned room.
- If a guest were to have their hands, feet or any part of their body hit the sensor, the doors will be open for an additional 3 seconds to try and close the right way. The second sensor may sense that you are on the floor and more depending on the passenger’s .
- Once you get to that floor that you are assigned to you must open the doors for 10 seconds in order to allow more passengers on board
- After no passengers head into the door you may close it and move down towards the lobby floor.

Counterintuitive Spring 2024 
You missed the point, BreakingBad.
YOUR READER IS THE ELEVATOR.
You’ve written Instructions for the person who wants to USE the elevator. That’s not the assignment at all.
The models in the assignment of good instructions all TELL THE ELEVATOR WHAT TO DO.
That’s the only thing that matters in this assignment. ADDRESS the ELEVATOR as your IDEAL READER.
BAD INSTRUCTION:
Wait until everyone who wants to get off has exited before closing the door.
GOOD INSTRUCTION:
Open the doors at the requested floor. After 7 seconds, close the door. If the light beam across the threshold is interrupted while the door is closing, reopen the door. After 7 seconds, close the door. Proceed to the next requested floor.
See the difference? The elevator doesn’t know or care who wants to get on or off.
Want to try again? Just Revise this post. Don’t start a new one.

This is much better, and qualifies for extra credit, BB, but it could be improved if you have the stamina by eliminating any references to passengers or guests, and by substituting “floor” for “room.”
The elevator in your scenario is completely ignorant of passengers and can remain so, so your mentions of them are irrelevant noise. The sensor that indicates someone wants to block the door from closing is relevant. The arm that breaks the sensor-circuit is not. There’s usually a second sensor that recognizes when a rubberized leading edge of the door is depressed before the door reaches its seat. That, too, is an order to open the door.
Your Ideal Reader needs only so much information (whether that reader is human or a machine).

—The elevator does not need to be told where to start. Good Instructions will apply regardless of where the elevator is.
—”Wait for a guest” is pointless. If it has no active Instructions to follow, the elevator will do nothing. That will look like waiting.
—What’s left of Instruction 1 after irrelevant details are eliminated is: Proceed to the floor where a Summons Button has been pressed.
—To be TRULY strict about this, the Summons Button doesn’t have to have been “pressed,” which would indicate a human intervention. If the Summons Button is active, even if a short-circuit causes the activation, the elevator will still proceed to the relevant floor.
—After any set of Instructions, though, you could command the elevator to proceed to the ground floor. You won’t have to tell it to WAIT there for further instructions. It won’t understand that.
