The $3^{\text {rd }}, 14^{\text {th }}$ and $69^{\text {th }}$ terms of an arithmetic progression form three distinct and consecutive terms of a geometric progression. If the next term of the geometric progression is the $n^{\text {th }}$ term of the arithmetic progression, then $n$ equals ________.

The terms of a geometric progression are real and positive. If the $p$-th term of the progression is $q$ and the $q$-th term is $p$, then the logarithm of the first term is

Let $S_1 = \{100, 105, 110, 115, ... \}$ and $S_2 = \{100, 95, 90, 85, ... \}$ be two series in arithmetic progression. If $a_k$ and $b_k$ are the $k$-th terms of $S_1$ and $S_2$, respectively, then $\sum_{k=1}^{20} a_k b_k$ equals __________.
