Can you figure out this tricky math problem? (10 points to the first right answer! You must show logic behind answer.)

Lockers in a row are numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., 1000. At first all the lockers are closed. A person walks by, and opens every other locker, starting with locker #2. Thus lockers 2, 4, 6, ..., 998, 1000 are open. Another person walks by and changes the "state" (i.e.,closes a locker if it is open, opens a locker if it is closed) of every third locker starting with #3: 3, 6, 9... Then another person changes the state of every 4th locker. The process conintues until no more lockers can be altered. Which lockers will be closed?

I had an "episode" last night and I'm not sure if it is related to past issues, or just a menstral thing. I've had severe depression as a teen, never diagnosed, but had the symptoms and have been doing well the past four years. I've recently moved away from my family and friends and get down at times. But the past few times I've had my period, I've had severe emotional trouble the week before my period. I have trouble having any feelings, and when I do I get so upset I cry all day. I call last night an episode because it wasn't the usual sob, it was like my mother had just died. Then all of a sudden, I stopped I think mostly because I wanted to. I'm not sure if I should talk to a gyno or a psychologist.

For a couple years I 've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.

I have an older model monitor. Its nota flatscreen or any of the newer kind. It is a "Tangent" 16 inch. It works good until I am watching DVD`s on it. If I am watching a black and white movie after awhile it will get really dark. So dark it just ruins the movie watching. I have tried to find a way to lighten it but have failed to do so. I have looked everywhere on it, but there is nowhere to lighten it. No contrast or anything. Would anyone have any help please. Any ideas at all would be welcome.
Thank you very much.

I have an devout LDS co-worker and would like to give him a thank you gift, something related to his faith and which an LDS would appreciate, but which would also be professional given that we are co-workers. I've seen LDS charms and pins (with themes such as red star, Moroni etc) but I don't know if it woud be appropriate for me, a non-LDS to give those gifts? Any guidance would be great. Thanks so much.

If someone loves someone else and is willing to wait for them.. WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY SLEEP WITH OTHER WOMEN?! oh yea.. it was defintely the lonliness in his defense, no? okay, so.. your all probably wondering why he is or was suppose to wait for me, but i wont get into details really.. and yes i am beyond the age of consent lol.. so its not that.. I'm now stuck in a position where I don't know if I should just proceed with waiting for each other. We have to wait for another 9 months, and he said that he does and did love me. I know this is silly. I know that he's probably saying this to not lose me. Can any of you relate to HIM? I feel like i'm his, "future girl"..the girl he's investing in...The things he did were over 8 months ago, but we've known each other for about 3 years now. I would greatly appreciate for anyone to just emphasize, encourage and give me advice on what I should do. I do love him dearly and I strongly do believe he lovs me as well.

When I was in Africa I got a random scab on my wrist. Since then I've been getting random scabs on my body-on my ankle, over my knee, on my arm, and now i have a cluster of them on my calf. Is there some kind of disease or rash that can cause this? Because I can't think of anything I could have done to get these scabs.

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.

3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she keeps finding her way back

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake."

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
