Just play with some toys to represent the cars.  Just move the cars in
the "sensible" way without thinking about why you are doing anything.
After you get the hang of things and have the elevators behaving
reasonably, write down your moves. Then look at them and see if you
can reproduce them with a set of rules of thumb.  Based on that,
perhaps you can improve the rules.

The more info you have, the better you can do, e.g. total weight of
passenger is the car, how many people are waiting at a given spot.

punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
