As the smartest person here, I can tell you that there is no answer to this question.

The premise that 100 people will correctly follow instructions is flawed, as is the premise that the later ones will even wait their turn without getting bored and leaving to do something else, and the presumption that all 100 are sufficiently skilled at math to perform correctly even if they wanted to.

Heck, I'd lay even money that by halfway through, one of them would have stolen at least one of the locker doors anyway.

if the pattern follows, the last student will close all of the lockers. so it's either 1 or 0

It will be all the square numbers, so 10 are left.
