A Conversation for Infinity, and the Infinite Hotel Paradox
I'm not sure there IS a paradox there.

If there are an infinite number of rooms, and each room has someone in it, how is it possible for everyone to move up a room? Yes there will always be another room on the end but it will already have someone in it.
Secondly, as it's an infinitely long hotel with an infinite number of residents, there can't be anybody left to turn up in a bus and want a room. You can't add to infinity because it's already there.
