In a Cartesian coordinate plane, call a rectangle  $standard$  if all of its sides are parallel to the  $x$ - and  $y$ - axes, and call a set of points  $nice$  if no two of them have the same  $x$ - or  $y$ - coordinate. First, Bert chooses a nice set  $B$  of  $2016$  points in the coordinate plane. To mess with Bert, Ernie then chooses a set  $E$  of  $n$  points in the coordinate plane such that  $B\cup E$  is a nice set with  $2016+n$  points. Bert returns and then miraculously notices that there does not exist a standard rectangle that contains at least two points in  $B$  and no points in  $E$  in its interior. For a given nice set  $B$  that Bert chooses, define  $f(B)$  as the smallest positive integer  $n$  such that Ernie can find a nice set  $E$  of size  $n$  with the aforementioned properties. Help Bert determine the minimum and maximum possible values of  $f(B)$ .

Shirley has a magical machine.  If she inputs a positive even integer  $n$ , the machine will output  $n/2$ , but if she inputs a positive odd integer  $m$ , the machine will output  $m+3$ . The machine keeps going by automatically using its output as a new input, stopping immediately before it obtains a number already processed. Shirley wants to create the longest possible output sequence possible with initial input at most  $100$ . What number should she input?

Call a lattice point visible if the line segment connecting the point and the origin does not pass through another lattice point. Given a positive integer \(k\), denote by \(S_{k}\) the set of all visible lattice points \((x, y)\) such that \(x^{2}+y^{2}=k^{2}\). Let \(D\) denote the set of all positive divisors of \(2021 \cdot 2025\). Compute the sum
$$
\sum_{d \in D}\left|S_{d}\right|
$$

Here, a lattice point is a point \((x, y)\) on the plane where both \(x\) and \(y\) are integers, and \(|A|\) denotes the number of elements of the set \(A\).
