Jo and Blair take turns counting from $1$ to one more than the last number said by the other person. Jo starts by saying "$1$", so Blair follows by saying "$1$, $2$". Jo then says "$1$, $2$, $3$", and so on. What is the $53$rd number said? $ \textbf{(A) }2\qquad\textbf{(B) }3\qquad\textbf{(C) }5\qquad\textbf{(D) }6\qquad\textbf{(E) }8 $

Ryan Alweiss storms into the Fine Hall common room with a gigantic eraser and erases all integers $n$ in the interval $[2, 728]$ such that $3^t$ doesn’t divide $n!$, where $t = \left\lceil \frac{n-3}{2} \right\rceil$. Find the sum of the leftover integers in that interval modulo $1000$.
A game starts with four heaps of beans, containing 3, 4, 5 and 6 beans. The two players move alternately. A move consists of taking [list] (a) $\text{either}$ one bean from a heap, provided at least two beans are left behind in that heap, (b) $\text{or}$ a complete heap of two or three beans.[/list] The player who takes the last heap wins. To win the game, do you want to move first or second? Give a winning strategy.
