In Hilbert's hotel, when all the rooms are full and a new guest

the newcomer into the first room, which is now vacant.

When a countably infinite number of new guests arrive, he accomodates
them by moving each current guest into the room with the number
2x his current, so guest in room 1 goes to room 2, guest in room
2 goes to room 4, etc. This frees up rooms 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.,
into which he places the new guests, by placing guest n into
room with number 2n-1, so guest 1 goes into room 1, guest 2
goes into room 3, etc.

Ask me about the machine and the ping pong balls some time.
