Bernardo chooses a three-digit positive integer N and writes both its base-5 and base-6 representations on a blackboard. Later LeRoy sees the two numbers Bernardo has written. Treating the two numbers as base-10 integers, he adds them to obtain an integer S. For example, if N = 749, Bernardo writes the numbers 10,444 and 3,245, and LeRoy obtains the sum S = 13,689. For how many choices of n are the two rightmost digits of S, in order, the same as those of 2N?

Mrs. Walter gave an exam in a mathematics class of five students. She entered the scores in random order into a spreadsheet, which recalculated the class average after each score was entered. Mrs. Walter noticed that after each score was entered, the average was always an integer. The scores (listed in ascending order) were 71,76,80,82, and 91. What was the last score Mrs. Walters entered?
