Let $a,b$ be positive integers.Prove that there are no positive integers on the interval $\bigg[\frac{b^2}{a^2+ab},\frac{b^2}{a^2+ab-1}\bigg)$.

Tao plays the following game:given a constant $v>1$;for any positive integer $m$,the time between the $m^{th}$ round and the $(m+1)^{th}$ round of the game is $2^{-m}$ seconds;Tao chooses a circular safe area whose radius is $2^{-m+1}$ (with the border,and the choosing time won't be calculated) on the plane in the $m^{th}$ round;the chosen circular safe area in each round will keep its center fixed,and its radius will decrease at the speed $v$ in the rest of the time(if the radius decreases to $0$,erase the circular safe area);if it's possible to choose a circular safe area inside the union of the rest safe areas sometime before the $100^{th}$ round(including the $100^{th}$ round),then Tao wins the game.If Tao has a winning strategy,find the minimum value of $\biggl\lfloor\frac{1}{v-1}\biggr\rfloor$.

There are $n$ people in line, counting $1,2,\cdots, n$ from left to right, those who count odd numbers quit the line, the remaining people press 1,2 from right to left, and count off again, those who count odd numbers quit the line, and then the remaining people count off again from left to right$\cdots$ Keep doing that until only one person is in the line. $f(n)$ is the number of the last person left at the first count. Find the expression for $f(n)$ and find the value of $f(2022)$
