Math quiz

[jazzc]

You almost got me to do your math homework. Well played jazzc. Well played.

My BSc is in Applied Mathematics, I can do my own homework if I ever have to, thanks

 

[jazzc]

I've got 0 for a and 4 for b.

Correct. Think why it 's 4 and how we can get the answer is for 1 billion lockers/people and send me the explanation via PM

Really fun brainteaser!
Everyone who's trying the second one - look at the numbers of the lockers which are left open for, say 10 lockers.
What stands out about those numbers?

@jazzc: I'll PM you another fun one

Have you got the formula to calculate the total of opened lockers?
