The data set 1,2,3,…,201, 2, 3, \ldots, 20 is extended by adding kk copies of the value 100100. Quartiles are the medians of the lower and upper halves (the median excluded when the count is odd), and outliers use the 1.5⋅IQR1.5 \cdot \text{IQR} rule. What is the smallest kk for which 100100 is NOT an outlier?
