GAUSS7 2024 Problem 20

A standing desk has 31 height settings, numbered from the lowest height, 1 , to the highest height, 31 . Since the desk is not working properly, when the up button is pressed, the desk goes up 6 settings at a time if possible, otherwise it does not move. When the down button is pressed, the desk goes down 4 settings at a time if possible, otherwise it does not move. If the desk starts at setting number 1, how many of the 31 settings will the desk be able to stop at?
