As some of you who are local may know, they've been taking one of the six elevators in City Hall down at a time for refurbishment. They sorely needed it, and while I can't yet see that they've made any improvements to the call-balancing algorithm, they no longer stop 3-6" above/below your floor, and the doors shut all the way. So bully for them.

However, the layout of the new buttons is a leetel confusing. Lemme splain... no, it would take too long, let me draw you a picture.

24	25	26

8	9	10	11
4	5	6	7
B	1	2	3

Got it? Okay, great. Now here's your task, should you choose to accept it.
