Hermione and Ron play a game that starts with $129$ hats arranged in a circle. They take turns magically transforming the hats into animals. On each turn, a player picks a hat and chooses whether to change it into a badger or into a raven. A player loses if after his or her turn there are two animals of the same species right next to each other. Hermione goes first. Who loses?

There is a row with $2024$ cells. Ana and Beto take turns playing, with Ana going first. On each turn, the player selects an empty cell and places a digit in that space. Once all $2024$ cells are filled, the number obtained from reading left to right is considered, ignoring any leading zeros. Beto wins if the resulting number is a multiple of $99$, otherwise Ana wins. Determine which of the two players has a winning strategy and describe it.
