There is a room having a form of right-angled parallelepiped. Four maps of the same scale are hung (generally, on different levels over the floor) on four walls of the room, so that sides of the maps are parallel to sides of the wall. It is known that the four points corresponding to each of Stockholm, Moscow, and Istanbul are coplanar. Prove that the four points coresponding to Hong Kong are coplanar as well.
Let $ABCD$ and $BCFG$ be two faces of a cube with $AB=12.$ A beam of light emanates from vertex $A$ and reflects off face $BCFG$ at point $P,$ which is 7 units from $\overline{BG}$ and 5 units from $\overline{BC}.$ The beam continues to be reflected off the faces of the cube. The length of the light path from the time it leaves point $A$ until it next reaches a vertex of the cube is given by $m\sqrt{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n.$
