Puzzle 197

During the recent BrainBashers Football Competition, 5 teams were competing.

Each team played each other just once, with 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.

However, the rain damaged the final scoresheet, and this is all that could be read of the final points after all of the matches:
Rugby       6
Grimsby     5
Hereford    4
Lichfield   2
Reading    ?

Can you work out how many points Reading ended the season with?

Puzzle 199

This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.

In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.

Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.

Can you determine which square you must start with?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.
