Your post count does not increase in the lounge (and you get banned if you try to inflate your post count without actually taking part in discussions btw)

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 the answers been posted in the thread? If not I'll give it a go when I wake up.

Need to get my brain working as unfortunately I need to learn math or else I will fail college. lol
