There are $2015$ people standing in a circle, counting $1$ and $2$ in turn continuously. Those who count $2$ will be out. For example, people who stand at initial positions of $2, 4, \dots, 2014, 1, 3, \dots$ etc will be out. The game goes on until there is only one person remaining in the circle. What is his initial position?

Joe is playing with a set of $6$ masses: $1$g, $2$g, $4$g, $8$g, $16$g, and $32$g. He found that some weights can be measured in more than one way. For example, $7$g can be measure by putting $1$g, $2$g, and $4$g on one side of a balance. It can also be achieved by putting $1$g and $8$g on different sides of a balance. He therefore wonder which weight can be measured using these masses in the most number of different ways? Can you help him to find it out? Describe how will you approach this problem. The final answer is optional.
