I know the answer so you don't have to tell me how you solved if you don't want to

This is for my persanal enjoyment to see how many people know the answer.

Here is the riddle

You have a very long hallway in your home. There are exactly 1000 windows. -All of the shades are closed on all of the windows.- You go to a local school and get 1000 students.- You instruct the first student to open all of the shades.- You then instruct the second student to close the shades on every second window.- You then instruct the third student to go to every third window and open the shades if they are closed and close the shades if they open.- You instuct the fourth student to do the same to every fourth window.- And the fifth student to every fifth window. And so on.


After all 1000 students complete the process how many shades are open?

I tried this for 25 windows and 25 people.

The blinds left open were 1, 4, 9, 16 and 25 (i.e. 1 squared, 2 squared, 3 squared, etc.). I assume that pattern continues leaving these open:

1, 4, 9,16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, ...

The largest perfect square less than or equal to 1000 is 961 which is 31 squared so I say 31 blinds are left open.

So for any given number of windows and people, take the square root of that number and truncate anything after the decimal point. So 1,000,000 windows and people would leave 1,000 blinds open. 2,000,000 would leave 1,414.
