The following problem is solved: when are we obliged to walk upstairs in a building supplied with two lifts (or elevators), if repairs to the lifts are quickly carried out? Sufficient conditions are given on the distributions of operating- and down-times under which the times when both lifts are inoperative are asymptotically distributed as a Poisson process.
