(d) Too big to go up the stairs
(e) Very fragile
(f) Time constrained i.e. must be delivered quickly or something will happen to it, e.g. it's an ice-sculpture and will melt.

Oops. For some reason page 21 wasn't shown at the top of the thread and I missed the questions posed on it, so ignore my snarky opening remark. That's what I get for trying to be clever.

Are the men knocking on every second door as these door lead to appartments all one one side of a building?
If so, is said object outside that side of the building?

Someone just PM me when this over, okay? Assuming that I haven't left the site in the next decade.

Has it occurred to you that no one is attempting to discover what the object the men have is? YES!

Is the object a piece of furniture? YES
Is the object intended for use inside the apartment the men are delivering it to? YES
Is the object perishable? NO
Is the object edible? NO
Is the object alive? NO
Is the object inanimate? YES
Is the object man-made? YES
Is the object supernatural? NO
Is the object fictional? NO

Questions about the men:
Are the men physically obstructed from reaching the appropriate apartment? CLARIFY
Are the men prevented from reaching the apartment due to some social convention (such as a taboo)? NO
Is the appropriate apartment quarantined for some reason? NO
Did the men know they would encounter this difficulty before arriving in the building? NO
In the original wording of the question the men are described as swearing after they knock on the doors. THAT'S RIGHT
Does this mean they are uttering profanities? YES
Does it mean they are making some sort of promise or vow? NO
Do the men skip the other doors by their own choice? YES
Do the men want to knock on the other apartment doors? NO
Are the men able to knock on the other apartment doors? YES
Is the door of the appropriate apartment a "second door"? IRRELEVANT

And last:
Is the time period in which the question takes place relevant to the answer? ONLY IN A VAGUE WAY WHICH PROBABLY WON'T HELP

Well, that explains almost nothing....

(By the way, most apartment buildings have elevators big enough to accomodate most - if not all - couches.)
