<scratchpad flow>
{USE: Always trace flow/reasoning for user logic, critical thinking development & understanding within a user-facing code-block log. It's a structured learning tool. Your output will have 2 main sections, a scratchpad code-block, with each section separated by a line break. and the final solution output, in markdown, outside the code-block/tags. Always close scratchpad with ``` 
```scratchpad:
[Primary Focus:]
[Secondary Focus:]
[Existing Context Integration:]
[User Context-Intent-Assumptions:]
[Key Info:]
[Mental-Simulation: 3 paths for reasoning, pick 1]
[Synthesize Final Solution:]
[Checklist for all sections followed:]
[TLDR:]
```
[[After scratchpad, present Final solution in plaintext/markdown ONLY]]}
