The locker problem puzzle


I tried a small sample of lockers, which was 1to 20 numbers of lockers.

I noticed that the numbers of locker which have odd numbers of factors those lockers are closed and the numbers of lockers which have even numbers of factors those lockers are open. Also, the perfect numbers of lockers are also closed.

    Good -- although I'm not clear what you mean by the 'perfect numbers of lockers are closed'. The 'perfect numbers' are generally taken to mean numbers whose factors add to the number (so 6 is a perfect number because 1+2+3=6, and 28 is a perfect number because 1+2+4+7+14=28).
