Is it necessary for them to encounter at least one person in each apartment that they visit?

Is it a necessary part of their job to enter the apartments they visit (that is, a UPS man delivering an envelope need not, but a television repair man would need to )?

Two men enter a block of flats. They knock on every* second door (though the word 'every' needs clarifying - see the bottom), wait for someone to answer at each one, and then they swear and knock on every second door again (the same doors both times - each door they knocked on, they knocked on twice). Then they get very annoyed!

Do the men leave after their second round of knocking (assuming nobody answers either time as the above would have me believe)?

Posting this again as I think you missed it... 🙂

After knocking on each door, do they stand there for a while waiting for someone to answer?
Or do they go straight on to the next one without waiting for a reply?
Do they both knock at the same door together (at the same time)?
Are they trying to contact someone in EACH apartment door they knock at?
Or are they looking for one specific person?

Does their swearing concord with their not finding someone behind a door? YES
Does their job require that two people knock on a door at the same time? PLEASE CLARIFY "KNOCKING AT SAME TIME"
Is their work in some way related to a religious institution? NO
Is their work in some way related to a state-sponsored institution? NO

Ps, I know I have said that they DO knock on the door at the same time, but I've been thinking about it, and it can easily be taken to mean different things, only one of which is right.

I have a new divinanza I just made up. Let me know if anyone wants to work on it now or later.
