A river flows at a constant speed. Piers A and B are located upstream and downstream respectively, with a distance of 200 kilometers between them. Two boats, A and B, depart simultaneously from piers A and B, traveling towards each other. After meeting, they continue to their respective destinations, immediately return, and meet again for the second time. If the time interval between the two meetings is 4 hours, and the still water speeds of boats A and B are 36 km/h and 64 km/h respectively, what is the speed of the current in km/h?

John learned that Lisa scored exactly 85 on the American High School Mathematics Examination (AHSME). Due to this information, John was able to determine exactly how many problems Lisa solved correctly. If Lisa's score had been any lower but still over 85, John would not have been able to determine this. What was Lisa's score? Remember, the AHSME consists of 30 multiple choice questions, and the score, $s$, is given by $s = 30 + 4c - w$, where $c$ is the number of correct answers, and $w$ is the number of wrong answers (no penalty for unanswered questions).

Then, he shared $\frac{1}{3}$ of the remaining candies with his sister, Linda. Next, both Mike and his father ate 12 candies each from the remaining candies Mike had. Later, Mike’s sister took between one to four candies, leaving Mike with five candies in the end. Calculate the number of candies Mike started with initially.
