A straight river that is $264$ meters wide flows from west to east at a rate of $14$ meters per minute. Melanie and Sherry sit on the south bank of the river with Melanie a distance of $D$ meters downstream from Sherry. Relative to the water, Melanie swims at $80$ meters per minute, and Sherry swims at $60$ meters per minute. At the same time, Melanie and Sherry begin swimming in straight lines to a point on the north bank of the river that is equidistant from their starting positions. The two women arrive at this point simultaneously. Find $D$.

A moving particle starts at the point $\left(4,4\right)$ and moves until it hits one of the coordinate axes for the first time. When the particle is at the point $\left(a,b\right)$, it moves at random to one of the points $\left(a-1,b\right)$, $\left(a,b-1\right)$, or $\left(a-1,b-1\right)$, each with probability $\tfrac{1}{3}$, independently of its previous moves. The probability that it will hit the coordinate axes at $\left(0,0\right)$ is $\tfrac{m}{3^n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers, and $m$ is not divisible by $3$. Find $m+n$.

An underground line has $26$ stops, including the first and the final one, and all the stops are numbered from $1$ to $26$ according to their order. Inside the train, for each pair $(x,y)$ with $1\leq x < y \leq 26$ there is exactly one passenger that goes from the $x$-th stop to the $y$-th one. If every passenger wants to take a seat during his journey, find the minimum number of seats that must be available on the train.
