Without overlapping, hexagonal tiles are placed inside an isosceles right triangle of area $1$ whose hypotenuse is horizontal. The tiles are similar to the figure below, but are not necessarily all the same size.[asy] unitsize(.85cm); draw((0,0)--(1,0)--(1,1)--(2,2)--(-1,2)--(0,1)--(0,0),linewidth(1)); draw((0,2)--(0,1)--(1,1)--(1,2),dashed); label("\footnotesize $a$",(0.5,0),S); label("\footnotesize $a$",(0,0.5),W); label("\footnotesize $a$",(1,0.5),E); label("\footnotesize $a$",(0,1.5),E); label("\footnotesize $a$",(1,1.5),W); label("\footnotesize $a$",(-0.5,2),N); label("\footnotesize $a$",(0.5,2),N); label("\footnotesize $a$",(1.5,2),N); [/asy] The longest side of each tile is parallel to the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the horizontal side of length $a$ of each tile lies between this longest side of the tile and the hypotenuse of the triangle. Furthermore, if the longest side of a tile is farther from the hypotenuse than the longest side of another tile, then the size of the first tile is larger or equal to the size of the second tile. Find the smallest value of $\lambda$ such that every such configuration of tiles has a total area less than $\lambda$.

There are $n$ people in line, counting $1,2,\cdots, n$ from left to right, those who count odd numbers quit the line, the remaining people press 1,2 from right to left, and count off again, those who count odd numbers quit the line, and then the remaining people count off again from left to right$\cdots$ Keep doing that until only one person is in the line. $f(n)$ is the number of the last person left at the first count. Find the expression for $f(n)$ and find the value of $f(2022)$
