Welcome Back!

...In sporting news today, a stunning upset at the Erie Otters game, where the final score was Mullets 4, Camouflage 2


It's monday morning after a holiday...so I'm confused.


Confused? How can I clarify?


Were the Otters playing, or was it the Mullets vs the Camouflages?


Ahh....I see. Well, the Erie Otters were playing against the Kitchener Rangers in the hockey game. I simply went to the concession stand. On that trip, I decided to count the number of mullets and compare it to the number of people wearing an article of clothing with camo on it. I fully expected the camouflage to win handily, but the mullets came through in the end.


Disturbing.


Yes....it sure is.


So, I faithfully read last week's posts, and I'd like the answers to the quiz question, please.


By all means! In no particular order:

The movie quote is from the 1940 film His Girl Friday, starring Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy. It is in reference to a newspaper writer who is sent back to the main office in order to distract him from a developing story.




Also...the answer to the brain teaser is: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, and 100 are left open. Look familiar? It should.

Each locker is moved by all the students whose numbers are a factor of that locker number. 24 for example is moved by 1,2,3,4,6,8,12, and 24. Now...since factors by nature always seem to come in pairs, (1x24, 2x12...) the resulting total number of factors is almost always even. However, in order for a locker to remain open, it must be moved an odd number of times. The only possible way for a number to have an odd number of factors it for one to repeat itself. Thus, the only lockers that remain open in the end are the perfect squares.
