Sean and his cousin are playing a game where they pick up colored sticks. Sean currently has 50 points and likes to pick up the white sticks, earning 2 points every turn. His cousin just lost all her points on the previous turn, and has a strategy to catch up by getting all the purple ones, earning 12 points per turn. In a certain number of turns, the score will be tied. How long will that take?
