he takes the elevator straight down.

Because one of the professons, candle stick maker, butcher, and baker had a twin in that same profession that walked in with them.  Then when they left there were 4 of them walking out together... They waled out as a baker, a butcher, and a candlestick maker.

I think knightspawn should also get credit! The riddle should explicitly state that he takes the lift from his floor to the ground floor in the morning, if that is what's meant

OK

OK, no bartender, strange but you did say no one there.

But a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker is only one of each; "a" means one, no twins, etc.

yes.

If 3 people post they give up I give the answer and end the thread.

They went in when no-one was in there. that means someone was already in there

This not only contradicts what you said before, it is self-contradictory!

Unless the person already in there was named "no one." LOL "No one" was in there

Correct.
