Two identical biased triangular spinners with sides marked 1, 2 and 3 are spun. For each spinner, the probabilities of landing on the sides marked 1, 2 and 3 are \(p\), \(q\) and \(r\) respectively. The score is the sum of the numbers on the sides on which the spinners land. You are given that \(P(\text{score is } 6) = \frac{1}{36}\) and \(P(\text{score is } 5) = \frac{1}{9}\). Find the values of \(p, q\) and \(r\).
