A (convex) trapezoid $ABCD$ is good, if it is inscribed in a circle, sides $AB$ and $CD$ are the bases and $CD$ is shorter than $AB$. For a good trapezoid $ABCD$ the following terms are defined: $\bullet$ The parallel to $AD$ passing through $B$ intersects the extension of side $CD$ at point $S$. $\bullet$ The two tangents passing through $S$ on the circumircle of the trapezoid touch the circle at $E$ and $F$, where $E$ lies on the same side of the straight line $CD$ as $A$. Give the simplest possible equivalent condition (expressed in side lengths and / or angles of the trapezoid) so that with a good trapezoid $ABCD$ the two angles $\angle BSE$ and $\angle FSC$ have the same measure.

Samuel Tsui and Jason Yang each chose a different integer between $1$ and $60$, inclusive. They don’t know each others’ numbers, but they both know that the other person’s number is between $1$ and $60$ and distinct from their own. They have the following conversation: Samuel Tsui: Do our numbers have any common factors greater than $1$? Jason Yang: Definitely not. However their least common multiple must be less than$ 2023$. Samuel Tsui: Ok, thismeans that the sumof the factors of our two numbers are equal. What is the sumof Samuel Tsui’s and Jason Yang’s numbers? [i]Proposed by Samuel Tsui[/i]
