Harvard has recently built a new house for its students consisting of $n$ levels, where the $k$th level from the top can be modeled as a $1$-meter-tall cylinder with radius $k$ meters. Given that the area of all the lateral surfaces (i.e. the surfaces of the external vertical walls) of the building is $35$ percent of the total surface area of the building (including the bottom), compute $n$.

Euhan and Minjune are playing a game. They choose a number $N$ so that they can only say integers up to $N$. Euhan starts by saying the $1$, and each player takes turns saying either $n+1$ or $4n$ (if possible), where $n$ is the last number said. The player who says $N$ wins. What is the smallest number larger than $2019$ for which Minjune has a winning strategy? [i]Proposed by Janabel Xia[/i]
