What's really weird is that I only thought about it Saturday, because I noticed a puzzle magazine in a rack at Rotterdam Centraal railway station that was filled with nothing but that kind of puzzle (with the grids already drawn).
I can't remember the other half of the question, though:
Who ..., and who owns the zebra?

I think it was "Who drinks water"???

Very likely!
I had "who drinks tea" stuck in my head, but I knew it was wrong.

Could be the British version. I've seen different versions of it with localized content. I guess it was because not all types of drinks and cigarettes (afair) were availble in all countries...

I even know the mathematical explanation about the number of dividers of perfect square numbers...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Post the explanation then. I was going to, but wanted somebody else to answer it.

The idea is to see how many dividers a number has... If it is an odd number than the door visited by that number (student is represented as a number) will be opened at the end, if the number of dividers are even it will be shut...
Without getting into the proof I will state that (in the case of positive whole numbers) every number has an even number of dividers except the square numbers... The largest square number that smaller then 1000 is 312 (322 we all know to be 1K), so the number of the opened lockers is 31!
(12, 22, 32... 312)

Ain't this the number of prime number between 1 and 1000 ? (168 or 167, I think)
|

Nyet! It's the number of something though.

It's the number of square numbers in the range - 1, 4, 9, etc.
But you're throwing us off by starting the door numbers at 1. Everybody knows they should start at 0!

What if I paint a 0 on the first door?

Technically, that would also be all the numbers in that range since you've only picked the square numbers.

I want to say 42.
But I'll say one.

2500, because I read the question five times.

They fill in their professional profile information, add the LinkedIn connections, some description, and then spam the site.

It's about looking normal and professional: if they don't look like spammers, they might get through.
If you mean these Russian TinyUrl morons, it's not going to help them - though it was nice to have a weekend off reporting them while they faffed about getting the backgrounds set up...

Yup - since a couple of days, I have been seeing most of the spammers have their profile entirely filled up.
But their post theme is just same. Link at the top, link at the bottom, link in the post itself.

What did I miss? How do I do it, too?
Why should they have all the fun and attention?
Give the rest of us a shot - let us spam, too. We could do it if you give us a cha . . .
Never mind - the coffee's ready.
