THE LOCKER PROBLEM

When me and my group had finished figuring out the answer for the locker problem we had at last said that there were 31 perfect squares in 1,000. There are 31 perfect squares because 31^2 = 961 is the largest that can fit into 1,000. When we were figuring this out we had tried 32^2 but it had came out to be larger than 1,000. When me and my group had saw that only 31 perfect squares could fit into 1,000 we were very impressed.
