15. Martha writes down a list of numbers where each number is the sum of the two
previous numbers on the list. The first two numbers she writes down are both 1s, and

16. Esther has 25 coins in a single pile and she is trying to split them up so that each coin
ends up in a pile by itself. Every time she splits a pile into 2 sub-piles, one with a
coins and the other with b coins, she gets (𝑎 × 𝑏) points added to her “score”. (For
example, from a pile with 4 coins and she splits into a sub-pile of 2 coins and another
pile with 3 coins, she gets 6 points added to her score). From a starting score of 0
points, what is the largest possible score she can attain?

B. 280
C. 300
D. 320
E. None of the above
