Consider the $n \times n$ “multiplication table” below. The numbers in the first column multiplied by the numbers in the first row give the remaining numbers in the table. [asy] import graph; size(3.5cm); for (int x=0; x<=5; ++x) draw((x, 0) -- (x, 5), linewidth(.5pt)); for (int y=0; y<=5; ++y) draw((0, y) -- (5, y), linewidth(.5pt)); draw((0,0)--(5,0)--(5,5)--(0,5)--cycle); void foo(int x, int y, string n) { label(n, (x+0.5, y+0.5)); } foo(0, 4, "1"); foo(1, 4, "2"); foo(2, 4, "3"); foo(3, 4, "$\dots$"); foo(4, 4, "$n$"); foo(0, 3, "2"); foo(1, 3, "4"); foo(2, 3, "6"); foo(3, 3, "$\dots$"); foo(4, 3, "$2n$"); foo(0, 2, "3"); foo(1, 2, "6"); foo(2, 2, "9"); foo(3, 2, "$\dots$"); foo(4, 2, "$3n$"); foo(0, 1, "$\vdots$"); foo(1, 1, "$\vdots$"); foo(2, 1, "$\vdots$"); foo(3, 1, "$\ddots$"); foo(4, 1, "$\vdots$"); foo(0, 0, "$n$"); foo(1, 0, "$2n$"); foo(2, 0, "$3n$"); foo(3, 0, "$\dots$"); foo(4, 0, "$n^2$"); [/asy] We create a path from the upper-left square to the lower-right square by always moving one cell either to the right or down. For example, in the case $n = 5$, here is one such possible path, with all the numbers along the path circled: [asy] import graph; size(3.5cm); for (int x=0; x<=5; ++x) draw((x, 0) -- (x, 5), linewidth(.5pt)); for (int y=0; y<=5; ++y) draw((0, y) -- (5, y), linewidth(.5pt)); draw((0,0)--(5,0)--(5,5)--(0,5)--cycle); void foo(int x, int y, string n) { label(n, (x+0.5, y+0.5)); } draw(Circle((0.5,4.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((1.5,4.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((2.5,4.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((2.5,3.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((3.5,3.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((3.5,2.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((3.5,1.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((3.5,0.5),0.5)); draw(Circle((4.5,0.5),0.5)); foo(0, 4, "1"); foo(1, 4, "2"); foo(2, 4, "3"); foo(3, 4, "4"); foo(4, 4, "5"); foo(0, 3, "2"); foo(1, 3, "4"); foo(2, 3, "6"); foo(3, 3, "8"); foo(4, 3, "10"); foo(0, 2, "3"); foo(1, 2, "6"); foo(2, 2, "9"); foo(3, 2, "12"); foo(4, 2, "15"); foo(0, 1, "4"); foo(1, 1, "8"); foo(2, 1, "12"); foo(3, 1, "16"); foo(4, 1, "20"); foo(0, 0, "5"); foo(1, 0, "10"); foo(2, 0, "15"); foo(3, 0, "20"); foo(4, 0, "25"); [/asy] If we add up the circled numbers in the example above (including the start and end squares), we get $93$. Considering all such possible paths on the $n \times n$ grid: (a) What is the smallest sum we can possibly get when we add up the numbers along such a path? Express your answer in terms of $n$, and prove that it is correct. (b) What is the largest sum we can possibly get when we add up the numbers along such a path? Express your answer in terms of $n$, and prove that it is correct.
In the Cartesian plane, let $S_{i,j} = \{(x,y)\mid i \le x \le j\}$. For $i=0,1,\ldots,2012$, color $S_{i,i+1}$ pink if $i$ is even and gray if $i$ is odd. For a convex polygon $P$ in the plane, let $d(P)$ denote its pink density, i.e. the fraction of its total area that is pink. Call a polygon $P$ [i]pinxtreme[/i] if it lies completely in the region $S_{0,2013}$ and has at least one vertex on each of the lines $x=0$ and $x=2013$. Given that the minimum value of $d(P)$ over all non-degenerate convex pinxtreme polygons $P$ in the plane can be expressed in the form $\frac{(1+\sqrt{p})^2}{q^2}$ for positive integers $p,q$, find $p+q$.
