Problem
Two integers are inserted into the list 
to double its range. The mode and median remain unchanged. What is the maximum possible sum of the two additional numbers?
Solution
To double the range, we must find the current range, which is 
, to then double to: 
. Since we do not want to change the median, we need to get a value less than 
(as would change the mode) for the smaller, making 
fixed for the larger. Remember, anything less than 
is not beneficial to the optimization. So, taking our optimal values of 
and , we have an answer of 
.
