OUTPUT:
3 3 2 1 1

MOVE 1: 1st floor [3]rd room
MOVE 2: 2nd floor [3]rd room
MOVE 3: 2nd floor [2]nd room
MOVE 4: 2nd floor [1]st room
MOVE 5: 3rd floor [1]st room

More Detailed:
Let out[] be the output array. If out[i] == out[i+1] then it means that you go one floor up, as there is no point in revisiting the same official. Otherwise you go to one of the neighboring rooms. If out[i] + 1 == out[i+1] then you go to the right neighboring room. Else if out[i] - 1 == out[i+1] then you go to the left neighboring room.

Hope it helped you. And hope that my C-style like syntax didn't make it hard to understand  :)
