In a similar way, a rectangle can be tiled by nine squares whose side lengths are $2,5,7,9,16,25,28,33$, and $36$. Sketch one such possible arrangement of those squares. They must fill the rectangle without overlapping. Label each square in your sketch by its side length as in the picture above.

[b]p4.[/b] Six shooters participate in a shooting competition. Every participant has $5$ shots. Each shot adds from 1 to $10$ points to shooter’s score. Every person can score totally for all five shots from $5$ to $50$ points. Each participant gets $7$ points for at least one of his shots. The scores of all participants are different. We enumerate the shooters $1$ to $6$ according to their scores, the person with maximal score obtains number $1$, the next one obtains number $2$, the person with minimal score obtains number $6$. What score does obtain the participant number 3? The total number of all obtained points is $264$.
[b]p5.[/b] There are $2014$ stones in a pile. Two players play the following game. First, player $A$ takes some number of stones (from $1$ to $30$) from the pile, then player B takes $1$ or $2$ stones, then player $A$ takes $2$ or $3$ stones, then player $B$ takes $3$ or $4$ stones, then player A takes $4$ or $5$ stones, etc. The player who gets the last stone is the winner. If no player gets the last stone (there is at least one stone in the pile but the next move is not allowed) then the game results in a draw. Who wins the game using the right strategy?
