We have $2^m$ sheets of paper, with the number $1$ written on each of them. We perform the following operation. In every step we choose two distinct sheets; if the numbers on the two sheets are $a$ and $b$, then we erase these numbers and write the number $a + b$ on both sheets. Prove that after $m2^{m -1}$ steps, the sum of the numbers on all the sheets is at least $4^m$ .

Lucas writes two distinct positive integers on a whiteboard. He decreases the smaller number by $20$ and increases the larger number by $23,$ only to discover the product of the two original numbers is equal to the product of the two altered numbers. Compute the minimum possible sum of the original two numbers on the board.

Submit an integer between $1$ and $50$, inclusive. You will receive a score as follows:
If some number is submitted exactly once: If $E$ is your number, $A$ is the closest number to $E$ which received exactly one submission, and $M$ is the largest unique submission, you will receive $\frac{25}{M} (A - |E - A|)$ points, rounded to the nearest integer.
If no number was submitted exactly once: If $E$ is your number, $K$ is the number of people who submitted $E$, and $M$ is the number of people who submitted the most commonly submitted number, then you will receive $\frac{25(M-K)}{M}$ points, rounded to the nearest integer.
