Ending / spoiler

Oddjob gets electrocuted. Some bomb defuser guy comes in and defuses the bomb with the timer displaying: 007. Bond goes on a plane en route to the White House. Out of the cockpit comes Goldfinger. When he isn't looking Bond grabs the gun and in a struggle the window is shot, causing the plane to lose cabin pressure. Goldfinger gets sucked out. Bond and Pussy Galore go out on a parachute, and on a nearby island, they make out under the parachute as a rescue plane flies overhead.

Trivia: Goldfinger's first name is Auric. Au is the chemical symbol for gold on the periodic table of elements.
Question: How did Bond know which room Goldfinger had at the hotel?
Answer: He deduced that Goldfinger was using a partner to spy on his opponent's hand, and to check his theory he went to the room with the best line of sight. Alternatively, he went (off-screen) to the desk and used his charm, which was utterly irresistible in the Bond films of the '60s, to find out where Goldfinger was staying.

Answer: Security and guest privacy was less of a concern in this era. Often someone could merely inquire at the desk which room a guest was staying in. Another ploy often used in movies was to leave a note for the guest and then watch which numbered mailbox the concierge placed it in.
