    Given an infinite number of rooms and guests, it is highly likely both he and the boulder are already there. So he should go to the hotel where he already is and has a room

    Happy comes from hap, which is essentially luck. So happy can imply lucky or fortunate. If he gets to the hotel and finds he already is checked into his room in an otherwise full hotel, then he is indeed lucky and likely happy.

      I don’t follow. He’s clearly not there already, being at the switch instead of at the hotel.

          Have to ask all current infinite reservations to move to <room number> x 2, now you’ve got 2x the open rooms as all current infinite reservations are even rooms only.
