The following image is 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels, and each pixel is either black or white. The border defines the boundaries of the image, but is not part of the image. Let $a$ be the proportion of pixels that are black. Estimate $A=\lfloor 10000 a\rfloor$. An estimate of $E$ will earn $\left\lfloor 20 \min \left(\frac{A}{E}, \frac{E}{A}\right)^{12}\right\rfloor$ points.
