3rd QUESTION of the DAY John invented a game in which : On each turn,John picked marbles with both his hands from two different slots containing 6 marbles each, marbles being numbered from 1 to 6. Although the normal procedure is to calculate the score by taking the sum of the numbers of marbles that he had picked. Interestingly, in john’s game the score is the multiple of the two numbers. Thus, picking 3 and 2(with left and right respectively), or 6 and 1, would give a score of 6; a double 5 would give a score of 25; and so on. He did explain to me the other rules of the game, but I am afraid they exceeded my comprehension. I do, however, recall that the score for his second round happened to be 5 more than his score for the first round; his third score was 6 less than his second; his fourth score was 11 more than his third; and his fifth score was 8 less than his fourth. Can you tell me what the johns score was for each of these five rounds?
