David and Evan are playing a game. Evan thinks of a positive integer $N$ between 1 and 59, inclusive, and David tries to guess it. Each time David makes a guess, Evan will tell him whether the guess is greater than, equal to, or less than $N$. David wants to devise a strategy that will guarantee that he knows $N$ in five guesses. In David's strategy, each guess will be determined only by Evan's responses to any previous guesses (the first guess will always be the same), and David will only guess a number which satisfies each of Evan's responses. How many such strategies are there?
Note: David need not guess $N$ within his five guesses; he just needs to know what $N$ is after five guesses.

2014 USAMTS Problems, 1:
Fill in each blank unshaded cell with a positive integer less than 100, such that every consecutive group of unshaded cells within a row or column is an arithmetic sequence. You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

And it came to pass that Jeb owned over a thousand chickens. So Jeb counted his chickens. And Jeb reported the count to Hannah. And Hannah reported the count to Joshua. And Joshua reported the count to Caleb. And Caleb reported the count to Rachel. But as fate would have it, Jeb had over-counted his chickens by nine chickens. Then Hannah interchanged the last two digits of the count before reporting it to Joshua. And Joshua interchanged the first and the third digits of the number reported to him before reporting it to Caleb. Then Caleb doubled the number reported to him before reporting it to Rachel. Now it so happens that the count reported to Rachel was the correct number of chickens that Jeb owned. How many chickens was that?
