A trail of chocolate

indigo_rose99Warning: No actual chocolate was consumed during the writing of this post.
I awoke this morning several floors above my hotel room, on the stairs in workout clothes fumbling with my mp3 headphones. This is perfectly normal in Ireland. What was not ordinary was the 4-lump square of (milk! Ugh.) chocolate at my feet. I pushed it to one side (imagine falling down a set of stairs because you tripped on chocolate?!), and continued up the stairs. About a floor and a half later, I found another square. And another. And another. In fact, all the way up to the 15th floor, I kept finding them.
Weird.
Starting down, I wondered where they started.
I discovered that there were three squares on floor 0. Bizarre.
Ok, some information:
(1) This hotel has 15 floors, starting at floor 0. Only crazy people like me would take the stairs for all of them. A child would not have taken the stairs like this willingly.
(2) I found chocolate on the stairs outside of floor 14.
(3) The squares of chocolate were every floor to floor and a half.
(4) They were spread in someone's idea of randomness, not truly random. As in, if they had been dropped accidently, some squares would have been closer together, some farther apart.
I suspect that the person dropped them going down the stairs, not going up. One of the squares on floor zero were in the doorway to the outside. Perhaps it was leading outside? Perhaps a treasure hunt?
