Isabella writes the expression d\sqrt{d} for each positive integer dd not exceeding 8 ! on the board. Seeing that these expressions might not be worth points on HMMT, Vidur simplifies each expression to the form aba \sqrt{b}, where aa and bb are integers such that bb is not divisible by the square of a prime number. (For example, 20,16\sqrt{20}, \sqrt{16}, and 6\sqrt{6} simplify to 25,412 \sqrt{5}, 4 \sqrt{1}, and 161 \sqrt{6}, respectively.) Compute the sum of a+ba+b across all expressions that Vidur writes. Submit a positive real number AA. If the correct answer is CC and your answer is AA, you get max⁡(0,⌈20(1−∣log⁡(A/C)∣1/5)⌉)\max \left(0,\left\lceil 20\left(1-|\log (A / C)|^{1 / 5}\right)\right\rceil\right) points.
