Here is a short Python program.

```python
peak = 5
amount = 9
margin = 9
tally = 2
tally = tally + amount * 2
tally += 2
tally = tally + amount * 2
tally -= 8
tally += 6
tally = tally + amount * 2
tally = tally // 2
tally = tally * 2 - 5
tally += 5
tally += amount
tally += margin
tally += margin
tally = tally * 2 - 2
tally -= 7
tally -= 8
tally = tally // 2
tally = tally // 2
tally = tally // 2
tally -= 2
tally = tally * 2 - 8
peak += tally
peak += amount
peak += margin * 2
```

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

To find the final value of `peak`, let's trace the calculations step by step:

1.  `peak = 5`
2.  `amount = 9`
3.  `margin = 9`
4.  `tally = 2`
5.  `tally = tally + amount * 2` $\rightarrow 2 + (9 \times 2) = 2 + 18 = 20$
6.  `tally += 2` $\rightarrow 20 + 2 = 22$
7.  `tally = tally + amount * 2` $\rightarrow 22 + (9 \times 2) = 22 + 18 = 40$
8.  `tally -= 8` $\rightarrow 40 - 8 = 32$
9.  `tally += 6` $\rightarrow 32 + 6 = 38$
10. `tally = tally + amount * 2` $\rightarrow 38 + (9 \times 2) = 38 + 18 = 56$
11. `tally = tally // 2` $\rightarrow 56 // 2 = 28$
12. `tally = tally * 2 - 5` $\rightarrow (28 \times 2) - 5 = 56 - 5 = 51$
13. `tally += 5` $\rightarrow 51 + 5 = 56$
14. `tally += amount` $\rightarrow 56 + 9 = 65$
15. `tally += margin` $\rightarrow 65 + 9 = 74$
16. `tally += margin` $\rightarrow 74 + 9 = 83$
17. `tally = tally * 2 - 2` $\rightarrow (83 \times 2) - 2 = 166 - 2 = 164$
18. `tally -= 7` $\rightarrow 164 - 7 = 157$
19. `tally -= 8` $\rightarrow 157 - 8 = 149$
20. `tally = tally // 2` $\rightarrow 149 // 2 = 74$
21. `tally = tally // 2` $\rightarrow 74 // 2 = 37$
22. `tally = tally // 2` $\rightarrow 37 // 2 = 18$
23. `tally -= 2` $\rightarrow 18 - 2 = 16$
24. `tally = tally * 2 - 8` $\rightarrow (16 \times 2) - 8 = 32 - 8 = 24$
25. `peak += tally` $\rightarrow 5 + 24 = 29$
26. `peak += amount` $\rightarrow 29 + 9 = 38$
27. `peak += margin * 2` $\rightarrow 38 + (9 \times 2) = 38 + 18 = 56$
