Should we assume
  that these people all actually want to meet each other, or
  that some of them would prefer to avoid others, or
  that they act randomly?

If randomly, do they
  arrive at a random time between 2 and 3, and go home anyway at 3, or
  choose their random interval so as to fit it all into the 2-3 slot?
