Query wording clarifications for task1 problem 4, task 2 problem 8, task 3 problem 9 #48

Description

@sopleee

Both Task 1 problem 4 and task 3 problem 9 ask for the top n entities of a specific value. Are these asking for all entities with the top n values, or the top n entities?
Ex. Task 1 problem 4- The problem wording seems to emphasize a ranking on people, however it is unclear if I should (1) be looking for the top 5 values of highest total amount spent on orders per person and include all people who had said values, or (2) rank the highest total amount spent on an order per person and take the 5 highest people in the ordering.
(1) could result in a query with more than 5 values
(2) could result in some people with the same value of highest total amount spent on orders, but arbitrarily aren't included in the result of the query
Which interpretation aligns best with the intended meaning of the problem? (task 3 problem 9 is analogous)

Task 2 problem 8 asks to identify users with "consecutive orders on consecutive days". Does this mean users with several orders on the same day for several days in a row? Or simply users with orders several days in a row?
