Consider the real number axis (i. e. the $x$-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system). We mark the points $1$, $2$, ..., $2n$ on this axis. A flea starts at the point $1$. Now it jumps along the real number axis; it can jump only from a marked point to another marked point, and it doesn't visit any point twice. After the ($2n-1$)-th jump, it arrives at a point from where it cannot jump any more after this rule, since all other points are already visited. Hence, with its $2n$-th jump, the flea breaks this rule and gets back to the point $1$. Assume that the sum of the (non-directed) lengths of the first $2n-1$ jumps of the flea was $n\left(2n-1\right)$. Show that the length of the last ($2n$-th) jump is $n$.

Given a paper on which the numbers $1,2,3\dots ,14,15$ are written. Andy and Bobby are bored and perform the following operations, Andy chooses any two numbers (say $x$ and $y$) on the paper, erases them, and writes the sum of the numbers on the initial paper. Meanwhile, Bobby writes the value of $xy(x+y)$ in his book. They were so bored that they both performed the operation until only $1$ number remained. Then Bobby adds up all the numbers he wrote in his book, let’s call $k$ as the sum.
$a$. Prove that $k$ is constant which means it does not matter how they perform the operation,
$b$. Find the value of $k$.
