if doors are one after the other like in a tunnel,667first person closes all the doors.second one closes 2,4,6...third one, to go through opens the door if it was previously not opened. But closes only 3,6,9..999. =>closes 333 doors. And leaves open 664 doors.or0 if they are at the same level. since everybody closes the door they opened.
