There are 20 lockers in one hallway of the Quid Pro Quo Academy for Cherubs. In preparation for the beginning of school, the janitor closed all the lockers and put a new coat of paint on the doors which were numbered from 1 – 20. When the 20 students from Mrs. Toliver’s class returned from summer vacation, they decided to celebrate by working off some energy. The first student started at locker one and opened all the locker doors. Student 2 started at locker 2, closed it and every second locker after locker 2. The third student started at locker 3 and changed the state of every 3rd locker including locker 3. (If the locker was open he closed it, if it was closed he opened it) Student #4 started at locker #4 and changed the state of every 4th locker, and so on until all 20 students had passed by all the lockers.
