The enrollments in the classes are 50,20,20,5,50, 20, 20, 5, and 55. Let tt be the average value obtained if a teacher is picked at random and the number of students in their class is noted. Let ss be the average value obtained if a student was picked at random and the number of students in their class, including the student, is noted. What is tst-s?

Fourty slips of paper numbered 11 to 4040 are placed in a hat. Alice and Bob each draw one number from the hat without replacement, keeping their numbers hidden from each other. Alice says, "I can't tell who has the larger number." Then Bob says, "I know who has the larger number." Alice says, "You do? Is your number prime?" Bob replies, "Yes." Alice says, "In that case, if I multiply your number by 100100 and add my number, the result is a perfect square. " What is the sum of the two numbers drawn from the hat?
