Here is a short Python program.

```python
total = 7
cells = [9, 4, 5, 5]
shift = 1
if shift >= total:
    total += len(cells)
extra = shift + 1
extra = extra * 2 - 7
extra += 5
extra = extra * 2 - 1
extra = extra * 2 - 4
extra = extra + shift * 2
extra -= 4
extra += shift
extra += shift
extra = extra + shift * 2
extra = extra * 2 - 5
extra -= 3
extra = extra * 2 - 1
extra -= 8
extra = extra * 2 - 4
extra = extra + shift * 2
extra = extra + shift * 2
extra = extra + shift * 2
extra += 1
total += extra
total += shift
```

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

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

1.  `total = 7`
2.  `cells = [9, 4, 5, 5]`
3.  `shift = 1`
4.  `if shift >= total:` (1 >= 7 is False), so `total` remains 7.
5.  `extra = shift + 1` $\rightarrow$ `extra = 1 + 1 = 2`
6.  `extra = extra * 2 - 7` $\rightarrow$ `2 * 2 - 7 = 4 - 7 = -3`
7.  `extra += 5` $\rightarrow$ `-3 + 5 = 2`
8.  `extra = extra * 2 - 1` $\rightarrow$ `2 * 2 - 1 = 3`
9.  `extra = extra * 2 - 4` $\rightarrow$ `3 * 2 - 4 = 2`
10. `extra = extra + shift * 2` $\rightarrow$ `2 + 1 * 2 = 4`
11. `extra -= 4` $\rightarrow$ `4 - 4 = 0`
12. `extra += shift` $\rightarrow$ `0 + 1 = 1`
13. `extra += shift` $\rightarrow$ `1 + 1 = 2`
14. `extra = extra + shift * 2` $\rightarrow$ `2 + 1 * 2 = 4`
15. `extra = extra * 2 - 5` $\rightarrow$ `4 * 2 - 5 = 3`
16. `extra -= 3` $\rightarrow$ `3 - 3 = 0`
17. `extra = extra * 2 - 1` $\rightarrow$ `0 * 2 - 1 = -1`
18. `extra -= 8` $\rightarrow$ `-1 - 8 = -9`
19. `extra = extra * 2 - 4` $\rightarrow$ `-9 * 2 - 4 = -18 - 4 = -22`
20. `extra = extra + shift * 2` $\rightarrow$ `-22 + 2 = -20`
21. `extra = extra + shift * 2` $\rightarrow$ `-20 + 2 = -18`
22. `extra = extra + shift * 2` $\rightarrow$ `-18 + 2 = -16`
23. `extra += 1` $\rightarrow$ `-16 + 1 = -15`
24. `total += extra` $\rightarrow$ `7 + (-15) = -8`
25. `total += shift` $\rightarrow$ `-8 + 1 = -7`
