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.

A TV station holds a math talent competition, where each participant will be scored by 8 people. The scores are F (failed), G (good), or E (exceptional). The competition is participated by three people, A, B, and C. In the competition, A and B get the same score from exactly 4 people. C states that he has differing scores with A from at least 4 people, and also differing scores with B from at least 4 people. Assuming C tells the truth, how many scoring schemes can occur?
