Head stud diagram

So I was trying to teach my neighbor's son a little about car work, and I'm in the middle of doing a head gasket swap. I managed to get the head off (I have ARP studs, more on that in a bit) and I was showing him how the various parts of a head work and all the other parts that we pulled off like the manifolds, turbo, etc.

I go inside to use the restroom and grab a soda, and when I came back out, the kid had decided to "help" by removing the studs from the block Needless to say I gave him a lesson on don't touch without asking haha. I can't seem to find my FSM, so can someone let me know which holes the longer studs go in, and which ones the shorter ones go in? Thank you very much! Next time I will take reference pics to avoid situations like this! If you can just write as A or B it'd be great i.e.

AAAAAA
BBBBBBB

A is short, B is the longer stud.

They're only on the intake manifold side, on the cam towers:

EDIT: so from back to front:
(Intake side): AABABAA
(Exh side): BBBBBBB
EDIT x2.... My A = Longer stud.

Thanks for the help you all! Whew, now that that's over, I had even more help from the kid in terms that he rubbed off my timing mark references haha. Oh man it just gets better and better. Gotta love the curiosity of 8 year olds.
