Here is a short Python program.

```python
scores = [9, 9]
peak = 1
nums = [0, 7, 1, 4]
limit = peak + 4
limit += peak
limit = limit // 2
limit = limit + peak * 2
limit += 5
limit = limit // 2
limit = limit // 2
limit -= 8
limit += 6
limit = limit * 2 - 2
limit += 4
limit -= 3
limit += 9
limit = limit + peak * 2
limit += peak
limit += 5
limit += peak
limit = limit + peak * 2
limit -= 2
limit += peak
limit += peak
scores.append(limit * 2)
scores.append(peak * 2)
scores.append(len(nums))
```

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

To find the final value of `scores`, we will track the value of the variable `limit` step-by-step.

**Initial values:**
`scores = [9, 9]`
`peak = 1`
`nums = [0, 7, 1, 4]`

**Calculating `limit`:**
1. `limit = peak + 4` $\rightarrow 1 + 4 = 5$
2. `limit += peak` $\rightarrow 5 + 1 = 6$
3. `limit = limit // 2` $\rightarrow 6 // 2 = 3$
4. `limit = limit + peak * 2` $\rightarrow 3 + (1 * 2) = 5$
5. `limit += 5` $\rightarrow 5 + 5 = 10$
6. `limit = limit // 2` $\rightarrow 10 // 2 = 5$
7. `limit = limit // 2` $\rightarrow 5 // 2 = 2$
8. `limit -= 8` $\rightarrow 2 - 8 = -6$
9. `limit += 6` $\rightarrow -6 + 6 = 0$
10. `limit = limit * 2 - 2` $\rightarrow (0 * 2) - 2 = -2$
11. `limit += 4` $\rightarrow -2 + 4 = 2$
12. `limit -= 3` $\rightarrow 2 - 3 = -1$
13. `limit += 9` $\rightarrow -1 + 9 = 8$
14. `limit = limit + peak * 2` $\rightarrow 8 + (1 * 2) = 10$
15. `limit += peak` $\rightarrow 10 + 1 = 11$
16. `limit += 5` $\rightarrow 11 + 5 = 16$
17. `limit += peak` $\rightarrow 16 + 1 = 17$
18. `limit = limit + peak * 2` $\rightarrow 17 + (1 * 2) = 19$
19. `limit -= 2` $\rightarrow 19 - 2 = 17$
20. `limit += peak` $\rightarrow 17 + 1 = 18$
21. `limit += peak` $\rightarrow 18 + 1 = 19$

**Updating `scores`:**
1. `scores.append(limit * 2)` $\rightarrow 19 * 2 = 38$. `scores` is now `[9, 9, 38]`
2. `scores.append(peak * 2)` $\rightarrow 1 * 2 = 2$. `scores` is now `[9, 9, 38, 2]`
3. `scores.append(len(nums))` $\rightarrow$ `len([0, 7, 1, 4])` is 4. `scores` is now `[9, 9, 38, 2, 4]`

ANSWER: [9, 9, 38, 2, 4]
