Let f(n)f(n) be the number of times you have to hit the \sqrt{ } key on a calculator to get a number less than 2 starting from nn. For instance, f(2)=1,f(5)=2f(2)=1, f(5)=2. For how many 1<m<20081<m<2008 is f(m)f(m) odd?

Original LaTeX notation
Let $f(n)$ be the number of times you have to hit the $\sqrt{ }$ key on a calculator to get a number less than 2 starting from $n$. For instance, $f(2)=1, f(5)=2$. For how many $1<m<2008$ is $f(m)$ odd?
