The Origin of Zero


What really caught my attention/strikes me about the article was zero's history. I would have never really thought that zero was simply just a placeholder. Its crazy to think that zero wasn't even really acknowledged til much later. Its also hard for me to think of life and speech without "zero". Its also really rad to see how other people wrote/drew zero. To me it was always just that weird oval, but its super cool to see other peoples concepts of it! I've never really thought of zeros origin before, but now I'm beginning to wonder about the other numbers..

Locker Problem!

My group got 31 lockers open and 969 are left closed. Lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, etc. are the ones to remain open. The 31 numbers are perfect squares, after that the numbers are not perfect and go over 1,000.
For example-
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. etc.
O, C, C, O, C, C, C, C, O, etc.
