The teacher explained students that they can delete the number written on the board and can write a number instead naturally new, whenever they want, applying one of the following each time rules: 1) Instead of the current number $n$ write $3n + 13$ 2) Instead of the current number $n$ write the number $\sqrt{n}$, if $n$ is a perfect square . a) If the number $256$ was originally written on the board, is it possible that after a finite number of steps to get the number $55$ on the board? b) If the number $55$ was originally written on the board, is it possible that after a number finished the steps to get the number $256$ on the board?

Compute the probability that their wins came in three streaks of consecutive wins, assuming that all possible arrangements of wins and losses are equally likely. (For example, the record $LLWWWWWLWWLWWWLL$ contains three winning streaks, while $WWWWWWWLLLLLLWWW$ has just two.)
