Here is a short Python program.

```python
nums = [3, 6]
tally = 8
level = 4
level = level if level > tally else tally + 7
nums.append(level)
level = nums[-1]

def grow(v):
    acc = v + 7
    return acc * 2

nums.append(tally)
```

After this program runs, what is the value of `nums`? Work through it carefully, then give the final answer on its own last line as `ANSWER: <python literal>`.

To determine the final value of `nums`, let's trace the program step-by-step:

1.  `nums = [3, 6]`
    *   `nums` is initialized as a list containing 3 and 6.
2.  `tally = 8`
    *   `tally` is set to 8.
3.  `level = 4`
    *   `level` is set to 4.
4.  `level = level if level > tally else tally + 7`
    *   Check the condition: `level > tally` $\rightarrow$ `4 > 8` is **False**.
    *   Since it is False, the `else` part is executed: `tally + 7` $\rightarrow$ `8 + 7 = 15`.
    *   `level` is now 15.
5.  `nums.append(level)`
    *   `level` (15) is added to the end of the list.
    *   `nums` is now `[3, 6, 15]`.
6.  `level = nums[-1]`
    *   `nums[-1]` is the last element of the list, which is 15.
    *   `level` remains 15.
7.  `def grow(v): ...`
    *   A function `grow` is defined, but it is **never called**. It has no effect on the state of the program.
8.  `nums.append(tally)`
    *   `tally` (8) is added to the end of the list.
    *   `nums` is now `[3, 6, 15, 8]`.

Final state of `nums`: `[3, 6, 15, 8]`

ANSWER: [3, 6, 15, 8]
