In a mathematics test number of participants is $N < 40$. The passmark is fixed at $65$. The test results are the following: The average of all participants is $66$, that of the promoted $71$ and that of the repeaters $56$. However, due to an error in the wording of a question, all scores are increased by $5$. At this point the average of the promoted participants becomes $75$ and that of the non-promoted $59$. (a) Find all possible values ​​of $N$. (b) Find all possible values ​​of $N$ in the case where, after the increase, the average of the promoted had become $79$ and that of non-promoted $47$.

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \] turns.
