Yann writes down the first nn consecutive positive integers, 1,2,3,4,…,n−1,n1,2,3,4,\ldots,n-1,n. He removes four different integers p,q,r,sp,q,r,s from the list. At least three of p,q,r,sp,q,r,s are consecutive and 100<p<q<r<s100<p<q<r<s. The average of the integers remaining in the list is 89.562589.5625. What is the number of possible values of ss?
