Key to Status: S=D/K. S is the status of a person in an organization,
D is the number of doors he must open to perform his job and K is
the number of keys he carries. A higher number denotes a higher status.
Examples: The janitor needs to open 20 doors and has twenty keys
(S = 1), a secretary has to open two doors with one key (S = 2),
but the president never has to carry around any keys since there
is always someone around to open doors for him (with K = 0 and a
high D, his S reaches infinity).
