Answer 1

Here is a solution in python:

a = [9, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 9, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 2, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8,
     9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 12, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 7, 9, 2, 23, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 12, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2,
     8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 7.12, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9,
     2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 9, 2, 2, 8, 9, 2, 15, 11, 21, 8, 0.87, 78]
i = 0
j = len(a) - 1
my_sum = 8
finded_numbers = ()
iterations = 0
while(OK):
    iterations += 1
    if (i < j):
        i += 1
    if (i == j):
        if (i == 0):
            OK = False
            break
        i = 0
        j -= 1
    if (a[i] + a[j] == my_sum):
        finded_numbers = (a[i], a[j]) 
        OK = False
print finded_numbers
print iterations
