# Mathematical Problem

Players $A$ and $B$ play a game on a blackboard that initially contains 2020 copies of the number 1 . In every round, player $A$ erases two numbers $x$ and $y$ from the blackboard, and then player $B$ writes one of the numbers $x+y$ and $|x-y|$ on the blackboard. The game terminates as soon as, at the end of some round, one of the following holds:
[list]
[*] $(1)$ one of the numbers on the blackboard is larger than the sum of all other numbers;
[*] $(2)$ there are only zeros on the blackboard.
[/list]
Player $B$ must then give as many cookies to player $A$ as there are numbers on the blackboard. Player $A$ wants to get as many cookies as possible, whereas player $B$ wants to give as few as possible. Determine the number of cookies that $A$ receives if both players play optimally.

## Instructions

Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.

**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.

### Guidelines

- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression
- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)
- Be precise and clear in your answer
- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for

### Example

If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain:

```
4
```

Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.
