Triangle $ABC$ has sidelengths $AB=14,AC=13,$ and $BC=15.$ Point $D$ is chosen in the interior of $\overline{AB}$ and point $E$ is selected uniformly at random from $\overline{AD}.$ Point $F$ is then defined to be the intersection point of the perpendicular to $\overline{AB}$ at $E$ and the union of segments $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}.$ Suppose that $D$ is chosen such that the expected value of the length of $\overline{EF}$ is maximized. Find $AD.$

A rook stands in one cell of an infinite square grid. A different cell was colored blue and mines were placed in $n$ additional cells: the rook cannot stand on or pass through them. It is known that the rook can reach the blue cell in finitely many moves. Can it do so (for every $n$ and such a choice of mines, starting point, and blue cell) in at most [b](a)[/b] $1.99n+100$ moves? [b](b)[/b] $2n-2\sqrt{3n}+100$ moves? [b]Remark.[/b] In each move, the rook goes in a vertical or horizontal line.
