}and then began to vanish.  

I think there are an infinite number of rooms.  Remember that when Coop was
trying to escape he went through the rooms in reverse order, and I believe
he went out through the same number of rooms he came in.  All the rooms
are identical, except for presence/lack of furniture and relative power
of good/evil (White/Black) influence -- although both of these could just be
canards.

Also, everyone seemed to have a doppelgaenger except for the Giant and Bob
(at least I don't remember a Giant double).  This may indicate that the Giant
is all good and Bob all evil.

Also, I don't believe, as someone else suggested, that WE needed Annie to
enter the Lodge -- I believe he thought that she would be proof of his
evilness and win him power, but of course WE didn't know diddley.  I think
WE getting Annie into the Lodge was all part of Bob's plot to get Coop to
enter so he could substitute Coop's doppel (yes, I think the "good" Coop
is trapped in the Lodge).  I *do* think Coop is slated to "win" in the
end (twenty-five years in the future) -- although I'm not sure exactly
what "winning" entails - perhaps wresting control of his body back from
the doppel (and Bob).
