The number 770 is written on a blackboard. Melody repeatedly performs moves, where a move consists of subtracting either 40 or 41 from the number on the board. She performs moves until the number is not positive, and then she stops. Let NN be the number of sequences of moves that Melody could perform. Suppose N=a⋅2bN=a \cdot 2^{b} where aa is an odd positive integer and bb is a nonnegative integer. Compute 100a+b100 a+b.
