Hint: The problem becomes much easier if you don't leave out kid #2. I'm assuming kid #2 got lost in translation somewhere.
Answer in white: <font color="white"> Only perfect squares will be open, i.e 2, 4, 12, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64. If kid #2 was supposed to be left out, just take my answer and switch all the even doors.</font>
Reasoning: <font color="white"> Only perfect squares have an odd number of factors </font>

I think you mistakenly put a couple of numbers in there and missed one!

Yeah, I'm retarded. I have absolutely no recollection of what I was thinking or how those extra numbers got in there. I guess for some reason I though 3x3 = 12. Can you prove that it doesn't?!
